MED-BODIED, GREEN APPLE, CITRUS, PEAR, PEACH, APRICOT, BUTTER, CREAM, NO OAK
The ‘Hautérivien’ cuvée from Denis and Isabelle Pommier (whom we’ve recently become huge fans of) is, in our opinion, exactly what every Petit-Chablis should be: refined and precise, but moreover welcoming, and deliciously drinkable.
Grapes are sourced from a blend of parcels in the villages of Lignorelles and Villey where the combination of limestone and kimmeridgien soils yield a fruity, mineral wine meant to be consumed young (and often!).
WINEMAKING : Hand-harvested; sorting occurs in vineyard & winery; fermentation / MLF in tank; aged sur lie in tank for 6 months.
FARMING : Organic (Practicing)
PAIRING : A Big Fat Salad with Avocado & Fried Halloumi
