Chablis, Burgundy, France
Chardonnay the way it should be. Great texture, riveting mineral verve, lush texture with no oak influence. A high-quality example of traditional Chablis.
 
The nose is fresh and crisp with green apple, green pear, citrus (lemon), and sea shell/iodine minerality. Bright, cool citrus (lemon) and green apple and pear are echoed in the flavors. The wine structure is lean yet has a crisp, racy minerality with a persistent finish.
 
The Kimmeridgian (limestone-rich) soils that run through Chablis give the wines their characteristic minerality, which can also be described as gunflint, chalk and, in the wines of Vocoret & Fils, the taste of a wet stone. An exceptional village-level Chablis with three-fourths of the fruit coming from the famous “Les Pargues” vineyard in Prehy and the balance comes from a village-level vineyard located just next to Montee de Tonnerre. This wine captures the typical Chablis character with steely minerality, focused citrus expression and firm acidity. Serve as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood, snails, charcuterie, goat cheese, Gruyere cheese.
