Produced by Domaine de la Motte (Famille Michaut) in the commune of Beine on the left bank of Chablis, this cuvée comes from 5 hectares of south and south-west facing slopes planted at 6,500 vines per hectare. The vines average 55 years of age and are rooted in Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, known for giving Chablis its distinctive minerality and precision.
Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Chablis
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Winemaking: Traditional vinification with fermentation at 18°C. Aging lasts 12 to 24 months in a combination of stainless steel tanks (65%) and 228-liter oak barrels (35%), followed by blending before bottling.
Tasting Notes: “Vibrant nose and palate with lemons and hints of cream, spices and green pineapple. Medium-bodied and bright, with lifted high acidity and just the right amount of intensity. Good balance in this refreshing and gastronomic wine.” – Zekun Shuai from James Suckling
Pairings: Beautifully paired with roasted chicken, veal in cream sauce, grilled sea bass, scallops in beurre blanc, or aged Comté cheese.
