Chablis 2006, élevé en Fût de Chêne
 

Wine type :

Characteristics :

Appellation : CHABLIS - Fût de ChêneGrape variety : Chardonnay
Vintage : 2006


Terroir : Kimmeridgien (limestone made up of a conglomerate of Exogyra virgula oyster fossils)
 Aspect : For the most part, South, South-West facing slopes
 Special features : This wine was vinified and aged in 600 litre Oak barrels.

Tasting notes :

Visual : Intense gold robe.
Nose : On the first nose, a toasted note gently reveals the oak-aged character of this wine. With aeration, the fruit character of the wine comes out, with aromas of yellow fruit, peach and apricot.
Palate : Lovely freshness. The oak-ageing delivers well-defined aromas, especially hazelnut notes. The finish is long, with a hint of woodiness at the end.

Practical guidelines :

Food/wine matches : This wine will marry most elegantly with breast of fattened duck. Why not try it with foie gras?
Alcohol by volume : 12,5 % alc/vol
Present and future : The subtle, well-integrated woodiness of this Chablis makes for a very pleasant wine which will keep for 6 to 8 years.
