Domaine La Roche Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes is a 750ml, 12.5% ABV old-vine Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy. It comes from vines over 65 years old in the Les Vaillons Premier Cru climat, with deeply established roots in Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils. About 90% of fermentation takes place in French oak barrels of 228 to 600 litres, with the rest in stainless steel vats, and the wine ages on fine lees for up to 12 months in the Obédiencerie cellars. The nose shows ripe yellow fruits, citrus oil, white flowers and chalky minerality, with saffron, toasted pine nuts and nuttiness. The palate has crisp green apple, greengage, fine acidity, dried quince, lemon rind and saline minerality, finishing long with bitter lemon, tart plum and sea spray.
Tasting Notes

Crisp green apple and greengage, fine acidity, dense and opulent texture, dried quince, lemon rind and pronounced salinity; linear acidity keeps it taut.
Long and savoury, with bitter lemon, tart plum, sea spray, chalk dust and persistent salinity.
