Domaine La Meulière 2022 Chablis Fleurs de Chêne

A Chablis made from 100% Chardonnay, with grapes from selected parcels of old vines on sloping vineyards around Beines in Chablis. It is fermented and aged partly in oak to add complexity and structure. Chablis in Burgundy is known for limestone and fossil-rich soils and a cool climate, which contribute to a taut style and pronounced minerality. The soils are Kimmeridgian limestone and marl, giving a characteristic salty minerality and upright structure. The nose shows green apple, citrus, white flowers and light toasted oak. The palate has fresh lemon and ripe pear balanced with light creaminess and a mineral finish, with a taut, elegant mouthfeel, lively acidity and a long, salty finish.
