Description

Drouhin Vaudon
Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir

 

SOIL

• • 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.

VITICULTURE:

• • Plantation density: 6 250 stocks/ha.
  • Pruning: double Guyot “Vallée de la Marne” (for its resistance to frost).
  • Yield: we aim for a lower yield in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir.

VINIFICATION:

• • Supply: This wine comes from grapes harvested on some parcels of the Drouhin Family
  • Properties as well as from grapes purchased from supply partners.
  • Very slow pressing so as to respect fruit.

Aging:

• • Type: in vats.
  • Length: 7 to 8 months.

TASTING NOTE BY VÉRONIQUE BOSS-DROUHIN

• • An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif.
  • Pure and limpid color, with a faint greenish hint.
  • On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavors) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander.
  • On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance.
  • The magnitude of its Grand Cru origin and the light salty notes from the Kimmeridgian soil are in evidence.
  • Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste.

SERVING:

• • Temp: 53-54°F.

Cellaring:

• • 1 to 5 years.
