La Chablisienne - Les Vénérables - Vieilles Vignes | Chablis
White wine | France, CHABLIS | 2019
We notice a clear, pale color with green reflections in the glass. The first impression in the nose is fresh with menthol and agrum aromas, followed by notes of linden and minerality. In the mouth we find a nice freshness and elegance. The wine is nicely balanced and has a pleasant length with lemon and grapefruit aromas in the final.

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.
