Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Joseph Drouhin 2020 75CL

With 80 hectares, Domaine Joseph Drouhin is one of the largest in the region. It is distributed throughout Burgundy: Chablis (38 hectares), Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, (38.5 hectares), Côte Chalonnaise (3.5 hectares), and comprises a majority of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, planted of the two Burgundy grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Location: Les Clos is the largest and arguably most famous climat in Chablis, located between Valmur to the west and Blanchot to the east. Its exposure gives the wine a characteristic generosity and power.

History & traditions: Considered the cradle of Chablis, Les Clos was spotted in the Middle Ages by wine-growing monks. The name “Les Clos” probably evokes the surrounding walls that they had erected to demarcate the plot, which have now disappeared for centuries. It was hit hard by phylloxera at the end of the 1960th century, like the entire region. In the XNUMXs, Robert Drouhin was one of the first owners of Beaune to undertake its rebirth.

Type of soil: The “Kimmeridgian” limestone soil contains countless marine microfossils in a whitish cement, testifying to its oceanic origin hundreds of millions of years ago. This marine characteristic gives Chablis wines a unique and inimitable flavor.

Products on 13 different terroirs, located on the right bank or on the left bank of the Serein, the Chablis Premiers Crus allow to discover and understand the great Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis. From vines planted on hillsides with beautiful south-west and south-east exposures, they all have their own personality that makes each wine unique. Some Premiers Crus are fine and mineral like the Montée de Tonnerre or the Côte de Léchet, the others are more tender and fruity like the Beauroy or floral and fleshy like the Fourchaume. The Chablis Premiers Crus are at their fullest 6 at 8 years after harvest.

Mâcon Villages white La Fougueuse alexis de benoist 2022 75cl

Grape: Chardonnay

Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.

Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character. Anxious to preserve the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring agriculture and a traditional cultural mode linked to observation.

In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The raisins are thus called healthy, when ripe and remain intact on arrival in the vats for vinification in whole bunches.

The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while retaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.
