Tasting Notes:
A rounded, fuller style of Chablis with aromas of roasted almonds and a touch of citrus, in addition to classic mineral tones, with toasty oak, white peach, and a slight creaminess on the palate. The finish is long, smooth, and mineral with a hint of salinity.
About the wine:
The lime-rich soil of the area suits Chardonnay very well and naturally limits yields to an absolute maximum of 50 hectolitres per hectare, as well as imparting distinctive mineral characters to the wines. The grapes are sourced only from this Premier Cru site. The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently. 35% is fermented in small oak barrels as this fuller bodied wine benefits from more oak influence. It spends several months ageing on the yeast lees to add extra complexity.
About the Producer:
Domaine de la Motte is owned and run by self taught winemaker Bernard Michaut. Established in 1950, the Domaine has around 25 hectares of vines around the village of Beines, near Chablis.
