2020 Raoul Gautherin Chablis 1er Cru "Vaillons", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the renowned "Vaillons" Premier Cru vineyard, the 2020 vintage reflects the unique terroir characterized by Kimmeridgian limestone soils, imparting a notable minerality to the wine. The bouquet is marked by floral hints of chamomile and fruit notes of yellow apple, complemented by a chalky undertone. On the palate, the wine's silky texture carries flavors of quince and apricot, with subtle pastry nuances. The bright acidity ensures freshness, leading to a long, saline-tinged finish. This Chablis is well-suited for pairing with seafood dishes, particularly oysters and shellfish, as well as light poultry dishes and creamy cheeses.
