Situation
This vineyard is situated on the left-hand bank of the Serein river, and has an ideal south-westerly aspect. The soils of the left-hand bank are less clay-like than those of the right-hand bank. This wine is one of the most highly-rated left-bank Chablis.
Tasting note
It is an excellent example of the characteristics of a Chablis wine: freshness, acidity, minerality and notes of flowers and fruit. Well-rounded and charming, this wine has a final note of minerality on the palate and is a good compromise between the acidity and fruit. It is generous, has a good length and is very typical of Chablis.
Drink with: seafood, grilled fish and white meats in sauces
