Chablis
Les Deux Rives
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.
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.
