Product Description
Variety:
Chardonnay
Vineyard
Site: this is the northernmost vineyard in the Joseph Drouhin Chablis Domaine. It is one of the seven Premier Crus due to its excellent exposure and Kimmeridgian soil concentration, giving it the easily recognizable character of Chablis.
History & tradition: in the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.
Soil: the Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.
A fresh and straightforward wine, typical of Chablis. Clear, straw-yellow colour, with green reflections. The complex and mineral nose reveals flavours of citrus and white flowers. Clear-cut impression on the palate. Nice balance between texture and mineral sensations; a wide palette of aromas: citrus, vegetal notes such as asparagus or artichoke; even hints of a marine environment..
