Our CHABLIS come from parcels situated next to the village of FONTENAY-Près-CHABLIS, at the very heart of Chablis’ vineyards.
On high plains or steep hills, all our Chablis grow on stony soils (Kimmeridgien Limestone) which allow a moderate production. Most of our vineyards are between 15 and 25 years old. Some parcels were planted by Gilles’ great grandfather, Marcel, around 1950/1960.
A wider and more vibrant minerality – fresh bursts and flashes of bright citrus. Wider – super clarity and intensity – properly mineral and complex – again it’s the citrus bitters that are to the fore – a strong marker of the vintage – it’s very long too. Keep your powder dry – like the last – give this space to develop – or rather settle-down – in your cellar for a couple of years. Excellent wine.
Pleasant with an aperitif, they make a good marriage with oysters, shell fish and grilled fish, but also with traditional Burgundy recipes such as “jambom persillé” (ham with parsley).
