WINEMAKER TASTING NOTE Behind its pretty pale gold dress with some crystal green reflects, the nose of this Chablis seduces by its fineness and its aromatic and elegant personality. On the palate we feel the fresh notes of citrus and lime. Roundness and finesse, elegance and persistence on the palate make it at once a greedy and elegant bottle, but also with a lively and fresh wine. It is a true wine of Chablis distinguished and well born.   

ABOUT THE WINE : GRAPE VARIETY : Chardonnay. CONTROLLED APPELLATION Geographically isolated from the other vineyards in Burgundy; this area possesses a singularity, which comes from the originality of its ground and its geographical localisation. This Chablis is harvested from traditional and well localised slopes of the village allowing it to produce each year a wide and regular quality. LOCAL SOILThe continental climate, hot in summer and very cold in winter, with sometimes some severe frosts in spring as well as the calcareous marls and sedimentary ground, allows producing an appreciated wine of character. WINE-MAKING Traditional. Controlled temperatures of the musts. Racking of the musts. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The ageing is systematically done in stainless vats during 8 months.

ABOUT THE WINERY : Domaine Doudet, with over 13 hectares to the north of Côte de Beaune, attests to our expertise. This heritage has great value because of the high quality and diversity of its appellations. The Domaine includes some treasures, such as Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, “Les Maréchaudes” Corton Grand Cru, “En Redrescul” Savigny 1er Cru, etc. In total 15 appellations are produced, all located around the iconic Corton mountain and the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. Domaine Isabelle DOUDET has always belonged to the DOUDET family. Today the 13 hectares of this estate are managed by Isabelle, the third generation of this family of wine-growers. Passionate about the vine, Isabelle is also in charge of the winemaking, bringing her talent and a characteristic signature to these superb wines. The whole Domaine is worked with controlled yields and environmentally-friendly pest management methods. The organic, pesticide-free treatments are reduced to the bare minimum. We practice light ploughing to preserve the overall balance of the vineyard and its ecosystem. The Domaine’s vines tend to be relatively old, up to 70 years old for the oldest!  A sign of our rigour and attachment to the vine is the fact that certain plots are, even today, only worked by hand or ploughed with horses.
