Guillaume Vrignaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2016
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceThe Vrignaud family, settled in the village of Fontenay-près-Chablis, have been growing vines for 5 generations. Guillaume Vrignaud started to bottle his first wines in 1999, and became certified organic in 2009. They have 28 hectares today. This comes from the Grand Cru Blanchot, and 40 year old vines rooted in kimmeridgian clay soils. It was native fermented in stainless, where it remained on lees for 15 months prior to bottling. Very generous and open, with a mouth filling, creamy palate of pear, perfumed mango, yellow apple, lemon verbena, and white/pink florals. Quite floral and accessable now, there's no need to hold this GC.Tasted: 31 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $93.00 | 750ml | consignment |
