Chablis Premier Cru BeauregardChablis Premier Cru Beauregard

The south-easterly exposure of this parcel is particularly favourable for the Chardonnay and it is here that the best grapes are produced. The bouquet is a complex and lingering combination of acacia honey and hawthorn blossom mingled elegantly with subtle mineral notes and topped off a treat by a round and full palate.

Product type: French White wine, Chardonnay, Chablis region, Auxerrois, Burgundy, France (Dept. Yonne)

Vineyard location:  South-easterly facing vineyard enjoying excellent sunshine.

Vine population: Chardonnay – 6000 vine stocks per hectare.

Average age of vines: 28 years old.

Bottle closure: premium natural cork and capsule.

Wine-growing terroir: Kimmeridgian stratum with alternating layers of hard limestone and softer clay marl.

Wine-making techniques: Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place at their own pace in temperature-controlled vats. The wine is then left to mature on fine lees for 10 months.

Tasting notes & ageing potential: Strong, bright-gold robe; complex and generous nose revealing a mixture of citrusy and ripe fruit aromas; supple attack on the palate with just the right balance between freshness and body.
This extremely well-balanced wine is easy-to-drink and will please all ages. Can be enjoyed with up to eight years of age.

Recommended serving temperature 12 to 14°C.
