Origin

Produced in the Chablis region of Burgundy, France, specifically from the Premier Cru vineyard site of Vaucoupin, known for its limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils that impart minerality and finesse to the wines.

Variety

100% Chardonnay grape variety, characteristic of the Chablis appellation, producing crisp and mineral-driven white wines.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected. Vinification typically involves cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. The wine may undergo partial aging in oak barrels or stainless steel, depending on the vintage and producer style, to enhance complexity while maintaining the signature Chablis minerality.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale gold with greenish reflections.
  • Aroma: Intense notes of citrus fruits, green apple, white flowers, and flinty minerality.
  • Palate: Crisp and refreshing with vibrant acidity, flavors of lemon zest, wet stone, and subtle hints of almond and honey.
  • Finish: Long, clean, and mineral-driven finish typical of Premier Cru Chablis.

Food pairings

  • Seafood dishes such as oysters, scallops, and grilled white fish.
  • Light poultry preparations with lemon or herb sauces.
  • Soft cheeses like goat cheese or mild Brie.
  • Asian cuisine with delicate flavors, including sushi and sashimi.
