The freshness and aromatic expression of a Chablis Village wine

The estate

Founded in 1923 following the initiative of Abbé Balitrand, the cooperative cellar La Chablisienne is the most important producer of Chablis wines. From Petit Chablis, to Chablis, Chablis Premiers Crus and Chablis Grands Crus, and the wines from the legendary Château Grenouille, La Chablisienne produces around thirty different vintages and crus which enable lovers of great Burgundy wines to discover the multiple profiles of Chablis wines.

The vineyard

La Chablisienne’s Chablis Village "Les Vénérables" 2019: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour
The colour is bright and showcases a beautiful white gold hue.

Nose
The concentrated and delicate nose elegantly reveals buttery and vanilla fragrances resulting from the oak-ageing, as well as delicious notes of white fruit (peach).

Palate
A fresh and precise attack is followed by a seductively complex palate. Ripe fruit, brioche, vanilla...all these aromas blend harmoniously with a smooth minerality.

Food and wine pairing

Scallops a la plancha or cheeses (goat's cheese, truffled Brie, Beaufort....) will complement this fine white Burgundy wine.
