Domaine Vaudon Chablis Chardonnay

WINEMAKING

Under the guidance of Jerome Faure-Brac and Veronique Drouhin, the vinification starts in the Domaine Drouhin Vaudon cuverie, in Chablis. The grapes are delicately pressed so as to respect the fruit. Juices from the last pressing are discarded. The fermentation takes place in stainless steels vats for the village. The Grand Crus and part of the Premier Crus will age in oak barrels. 

AGING

The Domaine does not age in new oak barrels because new oak has a high level of tannin and other dominant flavours. Similarly, "double-pieces" are the barrels of choice. Their larger size gives a fresher flavor to the wine since contact with the wood is more subdued and will not interact negatively with the mineral and fresh character of Chablis.

The aging lasts 7 to 8 months for the Village and Premier Crus, 10 to 12 months for the Grand Crus. 

GRAPE VARIETY

Chardonnay

TASTING NOTE

A dry and fruity wine, easy to drink. Its color is pale gold with greenish hues. Very fresh aromas reminiscent of citrus (lemon or grapefruit); small pleasant touches of fern or coriander are found as well. On the palate, dry and fruity, with mineral notes. Pleasant and long aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRING

Chablis usually ages five-to-eight years. It is excellent served as an aperitif or with seafood, such as oysters and fish. Also fresh goat cheese.
