2019 Domaine Vocoret & Fils – Chablis (750ML)

ORIGIN | France, Burgundy, Chablis

GRAPE VARIETAL | Chardonnay

WINEMAKER NOTES | Domaine Vocoret et Fils is a traditional, family-owned winery in Chablis, established in 1870. Patrice Vocoret, with his brother Sylvain and his cousin, Jérôme, are the fourth generation of their family to farm the vineyards, but it was their grandfather who was the first to bottle in 1930.

The Kimmeridgian (limestone-rich) soils that run through Chablis give the wines their characteristic minerality, which can also be described as gunflint, chalk and, in the wines of Vocoret & Fils, the taste of a wet stone. The grapes were grown on chalky hillsides of Kimmeridgian limestone mixed with Portlandian clay. This wine captures the typical Chablis character with steely minerality, focused citrus expression and firm acidity.

TASTING NOTES | Fresh, bright, crisp and delicious, this is a textbook Chablis. The enticing nose has notes of fragrant white flower, ripe lime and cool minerals. The rich, round palate has balanced energy and freshness with excellent depth. Easy-to-drink yet quite complex in its A.C. quality level, we are very impressed with this Chablis. – Bottle Shop (93/100)

PAIRING NOTES | Serve as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood, snails, charcuterie, goat cheese, Gruyere cheese.
