Elegant intermediate level of the Chablis area (40 official climats, 17 lieux-dits): exclusive signature Chardonnay as white king — pale gold robe with green tints and chiselled mineral profile with notes of white flowers, citrus, green apple, light honey and the hallmark touch of gunflint, iodine and oyster shell, taut palate with vivid acidity and long finish. AOC (1938), ~750 ha on Kimmeridgian limestones with Exogyra virgula fossils, ageing 5-15 years.
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
