‘Les Blanchots’ is a Grand Cru climat in Chablis, situated on a steep, southeast-facing hillside known for its white clay subsoil (after which ‘Les Blanchots’ takes its name) sitting above Kimmeridgian limestone, comprised of clay, chalk and fossilized oyster shells. 🙌🏻
This wine fermented in a combination of French oak barrels (70%) and stainless steel (30%) followed by 16 months aging on the lees in the cellars of a medieval monastery (L’Obédiencerie) acquired by the Laroche family in 1985.
It is medium lemon in appearance with an elegant expression of lemon peel, fresh white peach, apple, honeydew, star fruit, kumquat, white blossom, seashell, crushed stone, wet slate, struck match, toast, cream, and vanilla characteristics.
On the palate, it offers vibrant, racy acidity and a well-balanced structure.
It is superb! 😆😆😆
