Domaine Vincent Wengier Chablis

Domaine Vincent Wengier Chablis

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Organic Chablis from Vincent Wengier’s small domain in Prehy.

Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay

Elaboration: After a rigorous settling, the alcoholic fermentation is done slowly for about a month and a half. Then the malolactic fermentation was triggered naturally and carried out quite quickly. The aging of this cuvée lasted a short year. It was made in stainless steel tanks on fine lees to bring even more roundness and aromatic complexity.

Tasting Notes: Luminous gold dress. Young and typical nose, floral flavors linden, hawthorn, white fruits and delicate minerality. Palate round, enveloping, endowed with a fruity freshness of gourmet youth. Style without artifice, marked Chablis imprint.
