Description

Chablis is located in the northern part of Burgundy, halfway between Dijon and Paris. The continental climate brings very cold temperatures in winter followed by spring frosts and hot summers. These conditions and the marly limestone soils combine to mold the unique character of Chablis wines. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, then gently pressed and fermented without artificial temperature control. Partial or no malolactic fermentation is permitted based on the vintage, and the wine is aged in French oak. The goal is always to retain the wine's complexity and structure.TASTING NOTEThe wine is pristine, bright and fresh with high acidity and citrus and mineral aromas and flavors.FOOD PAIRINGDelicious with poultry, shellfish and lobster.POINTS OF DISTINCTIONA classic Chablis: winemaking influences such as malolactic and oak kept light to maximize the delicate quality of the fruit.

Producer Description

In Burgundy's Cf4te d'Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot's winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Fre9de9ric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot's wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardie8re continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects.Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d'Or's most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
