The Petit Chablis was introduced on land bordering the River Serein in 1944. “Little
Chablis”, though, has nothing “little” about it. Specifically chosen to grow grapes for this appellation, the Petit Chablis vines are to be found high up on slopes at the edge of the plateau areas. The soil is dark, hard and chalky, occasionally sandy silt, and the exposure is variable.
Winemaking: Traditional method, in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, for
6 to 8 months.
Although this wine is made far from the sea, it possesses pleasing sea-air aromas which blend perfectly with oysters, tartare of fresh fish or shrimps. It can also be drunk with andouillette (chitterling sausage) and snails. Cheese such as goat’s cheese, gouda and gruyere combine well with the playful character of Petit Chablis. Its simple, fresh taste can accompany summer salads and aperitifs.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
