Chablis 1er Cru "Montée de Tonnerre" (White)

Origine

Domaine de Vauroux's vineyards are located around the village of Chablis. The clay-limestone soil, rich in Kimmeridgian, gives the wine true Chablis characteristics.

Vinification

The harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats after settling. Bottling is carried out at least 7 months after the harvest.

Notes de dégustation

A bright looking wine, which is mineral and straightforward on the palate. Although subtle on the nose, there is plenty of fat and enough complexity. The acidity ensures that it has good ageing potential. Its suppleness and freshness combine harmoniously with a warm, powerful citrus bouquet.   

Mets d'accompagnements

This wine pairs nicely with lightly-smoked fish, fish in a meunière sauce, and white poultry in a creamy sauce.  This Chablis 1er cru "Montée de Tonnerre" is best enjoyed at 12°C.  It would also be best to wait a few years (2-3 years) before drinking this wine, which can age for up to ten years in a good cellar.
