Classic Chablis from Beine (left bank), produced by the Michaut family (Domaine de la Motte / Michaut Frères), from 22 ha of Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone. The vineyard practices sustainable farming and is certified HVE level 3. The wine pairs well with seafood and soft cheeses, offering a fresh and balanced taste.
Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Chablis
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Winemaking: Traditional vinification; fermentation at ~18 °C; ageing 8–12 months, ~90% stainless steel and ~10% oak. Producing approximately 100,000 bottles per year.
Tasting Notes: Lightly leesy on the nose, with tart lemon zest and a hint of spices. Bright and crisp on the medium-bodied palate, but a little acidic, with a medium-length finish.
Pairings: Perfect with freshly shucked oysters, grilled shrimp with lemon butter, goat cheese salad with citrus vinaigrette, or seared sea bass with capers and fresh herbs.
