The minerality and elegance of a Chablis 1er Cru wine
The estate
Founded in 1923 following the initiative of Abbé Balitrand, the winemaking cooperative 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.

La Chablisienne's ''Côte de Léchet" is a Chablis 1er Cru wine made from vines that are 25 years old on average, located on the left bank of the Serein. These parcels are planted on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils and enjoy a south-eastern exposure.
Vinification and ageing
Cold static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vats and barrels. 12 months of ageing on fine lees in vats and barrels.
The blend
Chardonnay (100%).
Chablis 1er cru "Côte de Léchet" 2018 by La Chablisienne: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Colour
This Chablis 1er Cru reveals a beautiful, brilliant golden colour.
Nose
The nose opens with floral and fruity notes (white fruits) but also slightly spicy and vanilla aromas. When aired, the bouquet reveals a persistent minerality and great elegance.
Palate
A lively and fresh attack precedes a palate that harmoniously blends minerality and salinity, including in the finish.
