DESCRIPTION
The estate’s flagship cuvée, the Chablis "Domaine Le Verger" is crafted from vines averaging 25 years of age, rooted in the famous Kimmeridgian limestone. This unique terroir, rich in marine fossils, imparts the wine with its structure and mineral identity. The 2023 vintage is a great success, accumulating Gold medals at prestigious competitions (Terre de Vins, Féminalise, Burgondia).
Winemaking takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve aromatic freshness, followed by aging in tanks on fine lees. This process achieves a perfect balance between the mellowness of ripe fruit and the structural liveliness of Chablis. It is a wine of character that expresses the pedigree of its appellation.
On the nose, it is rich and ripe, first revealing notes of white flowers before evolving toward aromas of suave fruits. On the palate, power prevails with a beautiful mineral imprint that supports the fruit. The finish is persistent, combining roundness and tension. An ideal companion for oysters, a grilled andouillette, or sushi.
REGION
Burgundy
France
Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the most iconic wine regions in the world, famous for its elegant, fine and complex wines. Its semi continental climate, with sharply contrasting seasons, and its clay and limestone soils rich in minerals, offer an exceptional terroir for its two leading grapes: Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. Alongside them, lesser known varieties such as Gamay and Aligoté add to the diversity of the vineyard.
The vineyard stretches from Chablis in the north, known for its taut, mineral whites, to the Mâconnais further south, which offers approachable, generous wines. In between, the Côte de Nuits is the kingdom of great reds, while the Côte de Beaune excels in both reds and whites. The Côte Chalonnaise completes the picture with wines that offer great value for pleasure.
Recommended for you:
A benchmark Chablis! It has that beautiful typical minerality but with a fruity and round side that makes it very pleasant.
