Chablis

2008 Chablis Chardonnay

The Roux Pere & Fils Chablis from the 2008 vintage is a stunning representation of Chardonnay, showcasing the unique terroir of the Chablis region. This white wine displays a brilliant pale straw color with shimmering reflections. On the palate, it offers a medium body that gracefully balances its refreshing high acidity, resulting in a mouthwatering experience that is both vibrant and lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, intertwined with delicate hints of flint and minerality that Chablis is renowned for. The wine is dry, and its subtle, well-integrated tannins provide a smooth structure that supports the complex flavors. A delightful choice for lovers of elegant white wines, this Chablis invites exploration and pairs beautifully with seafood and creamy cheeses.

Region:


Chablis

Chablis, located in the northernmost part of Burgundy, France, is one of the most renowned winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning rolling hills and lush valleys, Chablis' vineyards cover a unique array of terroir. The cool, crisp climate plays a major role in shaping Chablis' vineyards, with its limestone-rich soils and chilly air allowing grapes to ripen slowly but fully. This cool climate is ideal for the Chardonnay grape, which thrives in these conditions, producing wines with remarkable acidity and minerality. Vineyards closest to the riverbanks benefit from the most temperate conditions, yielding the most delicate and refined wines, while further inland, the slightly warmer areas produce wines with greater depth and intensity. This diversity of conditions allows Chablis to produce a range of wine styles, all characterized by their distinct freshness and purity.
