Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis Les Ardill
The 2022 Les Ardillers comes Chardonnay planted to clay-limestone soils from 45-year-old vines in the 1.6Ha namesake lieu-dit. It’s aged for 12 months in 1- to 5-year-old barrels for half the crop, the other in stainless steel on the lees. This shows assiduous use of the lees, lending weight and texture to the vibrant finish; a more classically taut and mineral expression of Chablis.

Drouhin 2017 Volnay
A wine of great elegance. A bright and luminous color, very frank. The aromas evoke violet and blackcurrant bud when the wine is young, evolving with maturity towards notes of ripe or candied fruits, mushrooms and sweet spices. On the palate, a beautiful sensation of roundness, velvety. The tannins are fine, the acidity gives freshness. A beautiful aromatic persistence, in candied and vanilla tones.
