Elegant, salty Chablis from this Burgundian powerhouse.Couldn't load collection availability
An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif. Pure and limpid colour, with a faint greenish hint. On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavours) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander. On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance. The magnitude of its Grand Cru origin and the light salty notes from the Kimmeridgian soil are in evidence. Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste.

Production Notes
Production Notes
Grapes are harvested by hand in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is carried out. Back at the winery a slow pressing of the whole bunch takes place in a pneumatic press. The juice of the last press is separated of the free run-juice. The juice is transferred to an existing wine barrel (or older) after a little settling. The alcoholic fermentation and the ageing is carried out in oak barrels (500 litres, no new barrels) during 12 to 15 months.
Producer Information
Producer Information
In the 1960s, when the Chablis region had largely been abandoned as a home of quality winemaking due to phylloxera, Robert Drouhin took a leap of faith. Consequently, Maison Joseph Drouhin has been a pioneer in the Chablis region for over 50 years, gradually expanding their vineyard holdings to 38 hectares.
Robert’s foresight meant that he was able to accrue some of the best vineyards in the area, including parcels of 4 Grand Crus (Vaudésir, Les Clos, Les Preuses and Bougros) and 7 Premier Crus. The wines are incisively expressive of these individual terroirs and the vintage.
Since the end of the 1980’s, under the impetus of Philippe Drouhin, Domaine Drouhin Vaudon adopted biodynamic cultivation, born out of a desire to limit man’s impact on nature, and is now the largest estate in Chablis embracing this method of winemaking.
