A powerful and complex, dry style Chablis wine with saline and liquorice notes and a long tension on the palate.
Ever since 1998 Cyril Testut has run the family Domaine started by his father Philippe in 1967. The family's vineyard holdings cover 13 ha of the Chablis AOC, where the Kimmeridgian clay and limestone unique to the region cultivate Chardonnay renowned for their distinctive salinity and minerality drawn from deep in the soil.
The Premier Cru on the right bank of the Serein is the most sought after of Chablis for its unparalleled mineral expression derived from the vineyard, and consistently excellent wines vintage to vintage. 100% Chardonnay, from average age 60 year old vines over 1 ha facing the warm southwest afternoon sun. Hand-harvested from late September to early October. Vinified and aged in tank for a minimum of 16 months, before bottling at the Testut Estate.
Food Pairing: Wonderfully paired with refined dishes like lobster or ripe cheese. Drink within 4-10 years.
