The wine region of Petit Chablis
Outer appellation of the Chablis area (northern Burgundy) on Portlandian soils: signature Chardonnay exclusive as king white — pale gold robe with green tints and crisp signature profile with notes of hawthorn, acacia, citrus, green apple and a discreet mineral touch of flint and gunflint, dynamic palate balanced by freshness, chiselled acidity and lovely iodine roundness. AOC (1944), Portlandian limestones less fossil-rich than Kimmeridgian, high hillside, drink young.
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.
