Chablis Esprit Nature (without sulfur)
Vinified by the 12th generation of Lamblin winemakers, this Chablis AOP innovates not only by its caracter but also by its method of vinification exempt of sulfur.
Terroir
Located near Auxerre in the department of Yonne, the vineyard of Chablis hugs a little river with the predestined name: Le Serein. The Pontigny based Ciscercian monks planted their vines here in the XIIth century. Instituted in January 1938, the A.O.P. Chablis confirms the excellence of a white wine that was, much more than other vineyards, able to maintain it’s ranking during the course off history thanks to high quality vine population (Chardonnay). The primary bedrock comes from Jurassic, more precisely kimméridgien about 150 million years ago, we can thus find tiny oyster deposits in the rocks, remains of the warm and shallow sea that then covered Burgundy.
