The wine region of Chablis
World reference for mineral Chardonnay. Straight, taut whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white flowers, flint and iodine, a saline finish driven by Kimmeridgian marls full of oyster fossils. The purest expression of the grape, little oak. Hierarchy: lively Petit Chablis, fresh Chablis, more complex Premier Cru (Montée de Tonnerre, Vaillons), 7 age-worthy Grands Crus (Les Clos, Valmur, Bougros…).
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Yeast
Micro-organisms at the base of all fermentative processes. A wide variety of yeasts live and thrive naturally in the vineyard, provided that treatments do not destroy them. Unfortunately, their replacement by laboratory-selected yeasts is often the order of the day and contributes to the standardization of the wine. Yeasts are indeed involved in the development of certain aromas.
