Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The appellation is situated on the river Serein's sloping right bank providing excellent exposure which enables it to express its personality. The result is a charming, rich and supple wine, with characteristic Chablis minerality.

    A harmonious white, with peach, apple and lemon flavors. The vibrant acidity imparts focus and staying power, with a mineral aftertaste. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported.

    The 2012 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume comes from the lieu-dit Vaulorent that touches Les Preuses with a high percentage of marl soil and derives from younger vines around 30 years old. It has another very mineral-driven bouquet, perhaps with even more intensity than the Montee de Tonnerre, while the palate is well-balanced with orange zest, lemon rind and minerals with very good substance on the finish

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Burgundy, France

The source of the most racy, light and tactile, yet uniquely complex Chardonnay, Chablis, while considered part of Burgundy, actually reaches far past the most northern stretch of the Côte d’Or proper. Its vineyards cover hillsides surrounding the small village of Chablis about 100 miles north of Dijon, making it actually closer to Champagne than to Burgundy. Champagne and Chablis have a unique soil type in common called Kimmeridgian, which isn’t found anywhere else in the world except southern England. A 180 million year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, spans from the Dorset village of Kimmeridge in southern England all the way down through Champagne, and to the soils of Chablis. This soil type produces wines full of structure, austerity, minerality, salinity and finesse.

Chablis Grands Crus vineyards are all located at ideal elevations and exposition on the acclaimed Kimmeridgian soil, an ancient clay-limestone soil that lends intensity and finesse to its wines. The vineyards outside of Grands Crus are Premiers Crus, and outlying from those is Petit Chablis. Chablis Grand Cru, as well as most Premier Cru Chablis, can age for many years.
