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.

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