"This wine is a perfect example of a classic Chablis 1er Cru. Its exposure to a relatively cool morning sun ensures its elegance and enhances its minerality & richness drawn from the calcareous and clay subsoil. It has a rich yellow gold color with green hints and its nose reveals aromas of mint & pineapple. Its flavours are full & freshness dominates, with a long persistent finish.
1er Cru Vau Ligneau parcels are handpicked, like all our 1ers Crus and Grands Crus. Generally, we harvest these parcels a few days after 1er Cru Vaillons in order to give the grapes extra time to mature. Once the juices are in stainless steel tanks, they first go through a 100% alcoholic fermentation activated with natural yeasts for 15-18 days at low temperature (18°C) then through a 100% malolactic fermentation thanks to natural bacteria at 20°C for a few months." - Louis Moreau
