Maison Joseph Drouhin Vaudon Chablis 2022

100% Chardonnay

The Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavor.

Harvest:  Grapes harvested by hands or with the grape harvester.

Vinification:  Slow pressing of the whole bunch in a pneumatic press.  The juice of the last press is separated from the free run-juice.  The juice ferments in stainless-steel vats after settling.

Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin:

A dry and fruity wine, easy to drink. Its color is pale gold with greenish hues. Very fresh aromas reminiscent of citrus (lemon or grapefruit); small, pleasant touches of fern or coriander are found as well. On the palate, dry and fruity, with mineral notes. Pleasant and long aftertaste.
