Christophe Camu Chablis Grand Cru “Les Clos”
WHY WE LOVE IT
- 50 year old vines.
- This Chablis was grown in Kimmeridgian, limestone rich in fossils soils, which brings finesse and minerality to the wines of Chablis.
- Serve this wine at 12 – 13°C or 53 – 55°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. The nose evolves in purity and distinction. We discover sweetness and smoothness through a succession of fresh citrus and vanilla notes. The palate expresses race, richness, power, finesse and softness in a resolutely mineral universe. A delicate woody touch combines with a very long 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.
