Chablis Oak barrel fermented
Vinified by the 12th generation of Lamblin winemakers, this Chablis AOC innovates not only by its delicately woody character, but also by its high-class packaging. Clément and Alexandre Lamblin thus mark their arrival in the House with this brand new cuvée aged in oak barrels.
Terroir
The main base comes from Jurassic; from the Kimmeridgian some 150 million years ago and there is thus a deposit of tiny oysters in the rocks, remnants of the warm and shallow seas that covered Burgundy at the time. Chablis is the world’s most famous French white wine appellation!
