Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright golden yellow with crystalline reflections, typical of the finest Chablis Grand Cru wines.
Nose: The nose is powerful and complex, revealing aromas of ripe fruits such as pear and peach, complemented by subtle floral notes, flint, and a light touch of vanilla from oak aging.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is broad and generous, with a silky texture. The typical minerality of Chablis is expressed with great precision, balanced by flavors of stone fruits and fine acidity that provides freshness and length. The finish is long and elegant, with slight woody notes and persistent minerality.
Aging Potential
This Chablis Grand Cru is built for aging. It can be enjoyed now for its liveliness and fruit, but will reveal its full complexity after 8 to 15 years of cellaring, developing flavors of candied fruits, honey, and hazelnut.
