TASTING NOTE

In the Premier Cru wines can be seen the different characters of the particular terroirs while the classic floral and mineral characteristics of fine Chablis remain

  • Butteaux -  lively and full, evolving toasty, woody aromas with time
  • Fourchaume -  pear and apple flavours, round, warm, expressive and powerful
  • Montée de Tonnerre -  fine, spicy, mineral, firm and elegant
  • Montmain -  clearly influenced by the rich chalky soil - deep, rich and appetising
  • Vaillons -  expressive, fruity and flowery
