Alain Geoffroy Chablis Signature 2020
Price: 26,00€
DESCRIPTION
The "Signature" cuvée represents the excellence of Alain Geoffroy's know-how. It comes from a rigorous plot selection of the estate's best terroirs, with 30-year-old vines benefiting from an ideal South-East exposure. On this Kimmeridgian soil rich in oyster fossils, the Chardonnay expresses all its nobility.
The 2020 vintage, today at its peak, unveils the quintessence of the "Geoffroy" style. The vinification is precise: gentle pneumatic pressing and static settling to keep only the best of the juice. Aging for 8 to 10 months in stainless steel tanks allows for the preservation of a dazzling freshness and aromatic purity without the influence of wood.
This Chablis distinguishes itself by its luminous white gold color. The nose is of great finesse, blending citrus and white fruits. On the palate, it is a straight, taut, and authentic wine. The balance is masterful, marked by a beautiful minerality and a long and aromatic iodized finish. A great gastronomic wine.
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.

What purity! You can really feel the difference with the plot selection. It is straight, sharp, and very mineral. Perfect with a royal seafood platter.
