Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

Location

The vineyards of Chablis are located in France’s Yonne department, in the northern part of Burgundy.

Soil Kimmeridgian and Upper Jurassic calcareous clay with very soft and light marl at the surface. The vineyards are on steep slopes (30 to 40%) and benefit from eastern exposure.

Grape variety 100 % Chardonnay.

Vinification Vinification takes place essentially in temperature-controlled tanks with some barrel ageing (a maximum of 15 to 30% new oak) so as to ensure that this Grand Cru expresses all of its minerality and tension.

Robe Superb, intense golden colour.

Nose A great deal of freshness with delicate floral nuances (rose), a touch of fruit (green grapes and lychees) underscored by a mineral base.

Palate Full-bodied and silky with lovely balance and considerable elegance.

Serve with This wine is a fine match for all seafood such as crab soufflé, grilled lobster or salmon gravlax, as well as for truffle-studded poultry and small game. As far as cheese is concerned, a dry goat’s cheese or aged Parmesan would be perfect with this Grand Cru.
