The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The meticulous work of the wine makers associated under the La Chablisienne banner gives birth to wines that time continues to magnify. Coming from a fantastic mosaic of "climats", they exhibit pure mineral emotions. This winery was founded in 1923 by Abbot Balitran, then paster of Poinchy, to help wine producers who were unable to sell their wines. "La Chablisienne" has since become an indisputable force, with a presence in all the Chablis region's appellations, both Premier Cru and Grand Cru.
Wine The La Chablisienne Vaulorent Chablis Premier Cru White 2007 is distinguished by the nobility of its terroir. Vaulorent effectively lies near Fourchaume, neighboring the "Les Preuses" Grand Cru. All finesse and elegance, the wine shows the fabric and the fat of the greatest Chablis. The frame is naturally long, taut and chiselled.
Vinification Vinification: cold static settling before the start of fermentation. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in small casks and in vat. Aging on fine lees for a period of 15 months, in vat or in small casks.
