Chablis
Chablis

Chardonnay

A very expressive nose with a perfume of summer flowers, citrus and orchard fruits like apple and pear. A distinctive salty sensation compels the minerality and palate. Medium-bodied with fortitude and persistence in the finish.

Points of Interest

Chablis is a unique place because vineyard classification is more closely tied to the geology and soil than in any other region in France. The main substrate is Jurassic limestone, called Kimmeridgian, from over 150 million years ago. The rock contains deposits of tiny, fossilized oyster shells which remind us that Burgundy once lay beneath a warm ocean.

Petit Chablis
Chablis

Chardonnay

Bright and lively on the nose with citrus. One the palate there is great sapidity with volume and balance. This Petite Chablis stands out for having more texture, depth, and length within the Petite classification.

Points of Interest

The Appellation for Petit Chablis forms the first level of classification in the Chablis area. With soils dating from the Tithonian age, a little more recent than those of the other appellations in the region, this usually makes for a lighter, more delicate Chardonnay.

Chablis Premier Cru
“Les Fourneaux”
Chablis

Chardonnay

A generous wine even when opened at a young age. Its hue is a lovely straw yellow. The nose has a pronounced elegance with a floral bouquet, notes of almonds and honey. Tender and abundant on the pallet, its character is well-balanced but full-bodied. True to the terroir of this Cru.

Points of Interest

Les Fourneaux, meaning the oven, is aptly named because it has one of the warmest microclimates in the entire Chablis region. The entire surface of this Cru vineyard is situated in the village of Fleys.

Chablis Premier Cru
“Mont de Milieu”
Chablis

Chardonnay

Marked by a clarity and complexity, this highly prized 1er Cru expresses a high level of minerality with floral notes of acacia, crisp orchard fruits, citrus, and honeycomb. In mouth the wine is rich and powerful revealing the terroir of Mont de Milieu.

Points of Interest

One of the 17 “Principal” premier crus, it sits on the right bank, on the east side of the Serein River. The area gets its name, which translates to “middle hill”, from the fact that it marked the border between the dukedoms of Burgundy and Champagne.
