Harvest Note
The 2021 vintage was memorable for the extreme challenges it posed to growers. The defining event was a hard freeze in April which lasted several days, and the subsequent dramatic reduction in harvest volumes. Added to this were cool and wet summer conditions which required constant vigilance. The delayed harvest eventually yielded tiny volumes of pristine grapes which express a vibrant and energetic purity.
Tasting Note
Tangy and inviting, with aromas of wet stones and citrus skin, this is classic Chablis without any austerity. The brisk acidity adds length and energy but is buffered by the ripe fruit elements.
