Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and crisp
The nose is open, clean and distinctive, revealing aromas of hazelnut, honey, lime blossom and white fruits, enhanced by a subtle exotic note.
The attack is clean, underpinned by lovely minerality, salty and iodine-like notes, and remarkable balance.
On the palate, it combines tension, finesse and character, with hints of sea spray and lemon juice.
The finish, clean and refreshing, offers lovely length, allowing a fresh, mineral and delicately exotic profile to come through.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.

MAISON JOSEPH DROUHIN
The site: Sourced exclusively from vineyards belonging to the Drouhin family’s estates, most of which are situated near the Grands Crus, in the Vauvillien valley, between the Premiers Crus Montée de Tonnerre and Mont de Milieu.
The valley forms a corridor of vineyards nestled within highly favourable terroirs: steep slopes and the famous fossil-bearing pebbles litter the flesh-coloured soil.
History & tradition: In the 1960s, whilst the Chablis vineyards were being widely abandoned, Robert Drouhin believed in the potential of this soil, which had been ravaged a century earlier by phylloxera. He was among the first Burgundian winegrowers to revitalise it, producing wines that truly reflect their terroir of origin.
The soil: Kimmeridgian limestone containing billions of tiny marine fossils set in a whitish cement — this soil was undoubtedly the ocean floor 130 million years ago. This marine origin gives Chablis wines their unique flavour.
