Chanson Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2018, Burgundy, France

Grape Variety: Chardonnay. Soil: Limestone. Site: Les Preuses is the Grand Cru of Chablis at the Northern end of the Grand Cru area. It is one of the smallest Grand Cru Climat and covers 11.4ha. The vines selected by Chanson are ideally located right in the heart of the plot. This brings to the wine the specific minerality of this terroir. After a cold winter, spring started with a mix of cold and warm episodes. May and June were quite warm. Summer was warm with several heat waves which brought stormy episodes at the right moment. This enabled the vineyards to follow their normal biological cycle. The harvest started early September, in outstanding conditions with grapes fully ripe and healthy. Vinification: After a mild pressing, this wine was vinified and aged for 12 months in oak casks. Tasting: Gold color. Floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit aromas. Expressive minerality. Well balanced and precise.
