Bovier & Fils Chablis - France

€25.95

Bright pale yellow in colour.

On the nose citrus and white fruit notes with a nice minerality offering complexity. The palate is lean, light bodied and well-balanced. The finish is lemon, lime and green apple with a notable salinity and high acidity contributing to a long, refreshing finish.

Located in northern Burgundy near Auxerre, the Chablis vineyards are alongside a small river aptly named: the Serein ("Serene").

Traditional vinification: The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. Settling, cold storing for 48h. Fermentation in stainless steel vats thermo-regulated at 16/20°C to preserve the aromas. Ageing in stainless steel vats on total lies between 8 to 10 months with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.

The Chablis region is a limestone plateau cut by valleys. The Premier Crus lie on a stratum dating from the Kimmeridgian (155 millions years BC) with alternating marl and limestone and tiny deposits of oysters in the rock, reminiscent of the warm and shallow sea which then covered Burgundy.
