Stylish, rich, deftly-oaked Chablis.
Production
The lime-rich soil of the area suits Chardonnay very well and naturally limits yields to an absolute maximum of 50 hectolitres per hectare, as well as imparting distinctive mineral characters to the wines. The grapes are sourced only from this Premier Cru site. The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently. 35% is fermented in small oak barrels as this fuller bodied wine benefits from more oak influence. It spends several months ageing on the yeast lees to add extra complexity.

Tasting notes
A rich, rounded style, this has aromas of buttered toast yet with classic mineral tones, and fresh lemon on the finish.

Delicious with white fish in a creamy sauce or with seafood

Meet the producer
Domaine de la Motte is a 25 hectare, family-run winery handed down from father to son since 1950. Now under the stewardship of Bernard Michaut, an ex-chef, who works with his son Adrien. Their winemaking is meticulous and the wines are benchmarks for the region. They are fastidious about producing concentrated, mineral and very precise wines which reflect the particular terroirs of Chablis, with vines on both Portlandian and Kimmeridgian soils. Motte's wines are regularly chosen for the Tastevinage label, a rigorous selection by the Confrérie des Chevaliers de Tastevin of wines they regard as offering the best of the region in terms of quality and style.
