Chablis 1er Cru,Les Sarments, Vignerons de Chablis

About a quarter of Chablis vineyards are designated Premier Cru, these are planted on sites which not only have good, typical soils but are also blessed with slightly warmer meso-climates. In Chablis, which has a very cool-climate, the warmest vineyards produce the grapes with the most flavour components. This wine is a blend of grapes from more than one Premier Cru vineyard, it shows typical mineral-laced citrus and stone-fruit flavours.

About the Wine

Chardonnay

Shar-doe-nay

Chardonnay can produce quality wines in a wide range of climates, with a real varied style. In cool climates like Champagne or Chablis it produces a lean steely wine with pronounced acidity. In warmer climates it develops buttery, honey notes whereas hotter climates, it's richer in body with the flavour of tropical fruits.

Butter
Green Apple
Minerals
Pineapple

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
