2018 MILLET CHABLIS

2018 MILLET CHABLIS, BURGUNDY, FRANCE. 100% Chardonnay.

From vines aged 30 years old, this gently pressed, fermented under temperature control and aged for six to ten months on the lees in enamelled steel vats and bottled at the estate. The lovely aromatic and fruity nose evokes aromas of pear, white peach and nectarine. The attack in the mouth is supple, the middle is round with lots of aromatic density and structure. Fine acidity provides the freshness of white current. The long finish is light and defined by a spicy note of white pepper. A Chablis of structure and elegance. Recommended with pear and Roquefort cheese salad, white fish and scallops.

About: Domaine Millet is located in Tonnerre. This family-owned estate is comprised of 32 acres on 4 of the 20 sites of the Chablis Appellation - Poilly, Viviers, Béru, Chichée. In Chablis, the soil is a determining factor. Millions of years ago, the crushed remains of oyster shells fossilized and eventually became the unique soil that lies under the vineyards of Chablis. This specific soil gives Chablis its unique steely, crisp, refined and mineral character. Domaine Millet's aim is to interfere as little as possible with the natural ecology of the vineyard. There is no systematic treatment. The belief is that a healthy soil will produce healthier vines requiring less outside interference. (Importer)
