Petit Chablis 2021 6x75cl

The Louis Jadot Petit Chablis has been selected for its nice straw yellow colour. It may have a slight green colour in great vintages. It is always a straightforward wine with a very accessible minerality and never too mellow.

Vineyards

Chablis is in the northern part of Burgundy, half way between Dijon and Paris. The Petit Chablis area is produced in villages such as Chablis and Beine.

Vintage

At the end of 2020 the rainfall was abundant and the reserves of water in the soil over the course of winter exceeded the 30-year norm. Winter temperatures swung back and forth between cold snaps and mild weather. The weather remained cool throughout April and on into the end of May and in most areas, it took the vines around a month to recover from the frosts and begin their growth cycle anew. May saw heavy rainfall. Temperatures rose in June and flowering took place in very good conditions mid-month. The pace of the flowering was fast and broadly homogenous across all areas and both varieties. This was a key indicator for the ripening potential for the grapes in the aftermath of the frosts.

Winemaking

This wine is fermented in separate vats by different plots, blended and then aged in the Louis Jadot's Chablis winery for about 8 months before bottling.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted White Meats

A classic match to smoked salmon.
