La Chablisienne - Côte de Léchet 1er Cru | Chablis 1er Cru
White wine | France, CHABLIS | 2019
The robe is brilliant with golden reflections. The first nose is expressive and fruity (fresh fruits: peach, apple). After opening, some floral (honeysuckle) and woody, vanilla notes are added. The palate is fresh with a lovely liveliness on the attack. The fruity aspect is present again, but this time more acidic (lemon, pineapple). Beautiful power in the mouth with plenty of length and a lovely minerality. The finish is slightly woody with hints of roasted dried fruits. Dense and aromatic wine.

About La Chablisienne
La Chablisienne was born in 1923 when a group of 180 small farmers joined forces to form a cooperative. Chablis, located between Paris and Beaune is a treasury of wines. The vineyards are located on both banks of the river Serein spread over 20 villages (6800 hectares). Of the 4,700 hectares in production, la Chablisienne alone represents 25%. Vaulorents is part of the Fourchaume vineyard and is only separated by a road from the Grand Cru mountain. You can call the wine a small grand cru at a low price.
