CHABLIS LA MEULIÈRE – CHABLIS 2016

Description

Chablis and Petit Chablis are dry white wines which are characterized by their purity, crispness, sophistication and minerality. The chardonnay varietal gives results in Chablis unlike anywhere else. It draws its personality and character from a subsoil that is 150 million years old, and ripens in ideal conditions, in a semi-continental climate, which allows it to attain good balance between roundness and freshness.

Healthy grapes and optimal maturity , that’s the winning duo of the year.
