Chablis
Les Deux Rives
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.
Vineyard
The Petit Chablis appellation is mainly located on soils dating from the Portlandian while the other appellations, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru, developed on the hillsides, are mainly found on Kimmeridgian soils. It is in this particular subsoil, outcropping in places, that Chablis wines draw their typicity, their purity, their finesse, their minerality.
