From vineyard to glass

The vineyard

The vineyard is located in the village of Préhy, to the southwest of the Chablis vineyard, on the Kimmeridgian — the upper layer of the Jurassic composed of clay and limestone — with a southeast exposure. We practice a reasoned approach to viticulture having obtained the HVE level 3 label, which translates into ploughing which activates the organic and microbial life of the soil, partial grassing on certain plots and the use of natural fertilizers and treatments against diseases.

Winemaking

After a long and delicate pressing and a cold settling of about twenty hours, fermentation takes place around 16 to 18°C using indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is carried out on fine lees from November to mid-April, followed by light fining and earth filtration for a clear, stable wine before bottling at the estate. Aging takes place exclusively in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, preserving freshness and fruitiness while allowing low-temperature fermentation that best develops the wine’s aromas.

Tasting notes

Bright, pale yellow colour, with a fine, fruity nose of white-fleshed fruit and citrus. Supple and fresh on the palate, with a fine balance of richness and minerality typical of great Chablis vintages.
