DOMAINE 47°N 3°E Chablis 'Cairn' Guillaume Michaut 2022 Bottle

Description

Established at the crossroads of latitude 47 ° North and longitude 3 ° East, the estate cultivates eight confidential plots in the heart of Chablis Burgundy. Guillaume has been working alone these vines planted by his grandfather on the slopes of his village of Beines, his father followed up and Guillaume took over the family history. He is keen to work out each cuvée as a fair balance between the typicity of the soils, the character of the grape variety and human intervention.

Confidentially, the Chablis Cairn releases beautiful engaging floral notes, accompanied by delicate fruit. Well-balanced in terms of structure, it maintains a nice tension, minerality, and a very pleasant persistence.

This is a special cuvée made from a 0.39-hectare plot of vines planted in 2000 in a tiny valley in Beine. Fully ripe grapes are fermented in tank and then aged in a mix of tank and new oak barrels. This is floral and delicate with a creamy texture and some vanilla oak, which will integrate with time. All is kept in check with a stinging acid spine. Drink 2025 - 2030.
