La Chablisienne Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent 2021 750ml

Pale gold in colour, limpid and brilliant with golden reflections. The first nose is pleasantly fruity with exotic notes (pineapple), some woody notes then appear after oxygenation.
The whole has great elegance.
A lively attack on the palate with plenty of energy. We find these fruity, tangy aromas (pineapple, lemon) which are accompanied by a few toasted, grilled notes on the finish. Fine density and length. A fine Chablis 1er cru with great future potential. Food and wine pairings: Aperitif, plancha prawns or scallops, sushi.

Varietal

Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
