Chablis
1er Cru
The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.

Wine made from a blend of serveral vineyards within the appellation Chablis 1er Cru (bas de Fourchaume, Montée de Tonnerre, Vaucoupin, Côte de Léchet). This wine respects the Cuvée Ronde, from the Burgundian tradition.

Tasting
Tasting note
A wine with a complex and persistent bouquet, mixed with aromas of acacia honey, a hint of iodine and vegetal nuances.
Food pairings
The Premier Cru is of great aromatic complexity, which predisposes it to many associations, including warm oysters and fish in sauce. It will reveal itself with ham in Chablis, the local specialty.
