Chablis Gabrielle VV de la Chapelle AOC 2022

Wine description for the Chablis Gabrielle, VV de la Chapelle AOC 2022 from de l'Enclos

Colour & appearance

Presented in a clear, medium straw yellow colour with brilliant clarity - a visual promise of the mineral precision that will follow.

Nose

A textbook Chablis that immediately reveals its origins. Lemon zest and Salt lemon dominate, accompanied by crushed lime and Oyster shells. These are joined by green plums, Granny Smith apples and subtle white floral notes - a flavour profile of classic purity.

Palate

The true class of this Chablis is revealed here: full of tension and energy, with a vibration that pulsates through the whole mouth. More flesh and substance than a simple Chablis, yet with an electrifying freshness. The salty minerality is so striking that it literally calls out to the sea - a wine that triggers wanderlust.

General information

Comes from 42-52 year old vines from La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne on classic Kimmeridge and Portlandian limestone soils. Hand-picked on 9 September 2022, spontaneous fermentation and 13 months of ageing in stainless steel. With only 35 mg/l total sulphur, an example of restrained cellar technology.

Food pairing suggestions

Virtually predestined for an opulent Seafood platter - here the wine finds its perfect complement. Equally harmonious with Risotto with green asparagus or Pasta with Tropea onions and caperswhere its minerality elegantly underlines the flavours of the dishes.

Special features

Named after Gabrielle Tremblay, the winemakers' grandmother, this Chablis represents the essence of old vineyard parcels. The combination of terroir expression and artisanal precision makes it an authentic ambassador of its place of origin - a wine that brings the salty sea breeze of northern France into the glass.
