Chardonnay "Bienommee", L&C Poitout 2022 (Chablis, France)

Bienommée Chablis comes from a 25+ year old plot called “Vaudat” in Villy, with an eastern exposition on Kimmeridgian soils with small calcerous stones. Hand-harvested, the wine is fermented in stainless steel, then stays until Spring in the same vessel, until it is lightly fined and filtered before being bottled. The Bienommée offers a cheesy, leesy nose with yellow and green apples, white pears, chalky lemon, following through with a medium weight body that is crystalline and bright, ending in a long mouth-watering finish.
