Louis Jadot Chablis Chardonnay 750ml

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.
