Description

• Unoaked

"The family’s entry-level cuvée, made by 13th-generation winemaker Jean-François Bordet. It is bursting with soft green apple and delicate pear notes plus a mineral tang. It’s balanced and lively with a crisp citrus freshness giving lift on the finish" Decanter

Bouquet marked by great freshness. Fruity, floral and mineral notes. A light and lively wine.

Petit Chablis is a perfect introduction to the world of Chablis' fine wines. Its Portlandian subsoil differs somewhat from other AOCs in the region. However, it still evokes Chablis characteristics with lovely freshness on the palate.

Use of the principle of gravity so as to avoid all pumping, which could harm the quality of the wine. Brief (1½-2 hours) pneumatic pressing to obtain a gentle separation of the solid and liquid parts of the grape. Very light static settling of the juice to preserve enough fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations can occur naturally. The must is run in small stainless steel vats. 8 to 10 months in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness.

Food Pairing: Seafood, oysters.
