Christophe Camu Chablis 1er cru Cote de Léchet
WHY WE LOVE IT
- This Côte de Léchet comes from 35 year old vines and sees a nice evolution in the glass. It has a nice personality. Its nose is flowery, delicate, lemony.
- The vineyard soils are Kimmeridgian, limestone rich in fossils which brings finesse and minerality to the wines of Chablis.
- 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: Pale white gold color with slight green reflections. Brilliant, luminous and clear. On the palate, silky aromas of ripe apple, pear and yellow plums stand out. It combines delicate toppings of fruit flavors with mineral flavors. Very good length in the mouth on the finish.

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.
