Christophe Camu Chablis 1er cru Beauroy
WHY WE LOVE IT
- 35 year old vines. Christophe Camu Beauroy soils are Kimmeridgian, limestone rich in fossils, which brings finesse and minerality to the wines of Chablis.
- For seven generations, Domaine Christophe Camu, imbued with passion for the Chablis vineyard and a true love of the land, has produced great authentic wines spanning the four Chablis appellations.
- Serve at a temperature of 10 – 11°C or 50 – 52°F.
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Elaboration: Natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeast 100% in vats.
Tasting Notes: This Chablis Premier Cru has a pale white gold color with light green highlights. Brilliant, luminous and clear. The nose is resplendent with sunshine and maturity. It is a rich and distinguished bouquet of mixed flowers. The palate is ample and round, it is a perfect balance between power and finesse, softness and freshness. We find everything that seduced us so much on the nose. The finish is greedy and voluptuous.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Domaine Christophe Camu was established in 1850 and passed down through seven generations (so far) of the family. Today, Christophe Camu and his son, Dylan, manage the estate, making quality, yet humble, wines in and around the village of Chablis in north-central France, 152 kilometers southeast of Paris.
Perpetuating a family heritage, beyond bequeathing land and instilling a passion for wine, also means enriching oneself with the history of these ancestors. While revering the traditions of those who came before, Christophe and Dylan also understand that contemporary winemaking processes and techniques offer necessary improvements to traditional viticulture and viniculture.
