Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Pale lemon yellow.
Nose
Youthful and still lightly influenced by its recent bottling. It reveals nuances of ripe green fruits, lime zest, fresh lemon juice and tangy preserved lemon. Subtle hints of herbs, a touch of yeast, delicate oak and a whisper of pineapple add complexity.
Palate
On the palate, this Chardonnay displays a fine, bright juiciness paired with silky texture and elegant density. A creamy mouthfeel meets citrus freshness and exotic pineapple notes.
Finish
The finish presents itself with minerally salinity and juiciness, accompanied by a fine herbal note and seamlessly integrated oak.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from the famous Grand Cru vineyard Vaudésir in the heart of Chablis. Situated in a deeply cut valley, the vines root deeply into fossil-rich Kimmeridgian limestone, lending the wine its taut structure.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Single-varietal Chardonnay from a 0.57-hectare plot planted in 1992. Following organic farming and hand-harvesting, a slow whole-bunch pressing takes place. The wine is spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts and aged in used tonneaux, followed by a coarse filtration and minimal sulphur additions.
Food Pairings
Excellent with pan-seared scallops, lobster Thermidor, breast of pheasant or refined turbot with lemon butter.
Particularities
A puristic, organically grown Grand Cru that perfectly captures the unadulterated style of brothers Romain and Damien Bouchard, thanks to gravity-fed winemaking and spontaneous fermentation.
