Chablis Premier Cru 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
A blend of fruit from several esteemed Premier Cru Chablis sites. This wine is intended as a crucial link between basic village-level Chablis and the highly sought, unique yet limited Premier and Grand Cru terroirs. Raised predominately in stainless steel tank to preserve the essential purity and fresh, lively texture.
Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
Tasting Note
Bright citrus and chalky earth notes, with just a hint of salinity, this is a medium-bodied dry white with refreshing appeal and great versatility.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
