The outer fringes of Chablis produce Petit Chablis, a light style of wine that, like this, can be fruity and drinkable young. Fresh acidity and a light, crisp finish.
The key difference between Petit Chablis and its more prestigious brothers is found in the soil where the vines are grown. While the more respected wines come from vineyards with Kimmeridgian soils, Petit Chablis is produced from vineyards planted in Portlandian soils. The difference between the two soil types may seem negligible, but the subtle balance of clay and limestone is essential to the wine-growers of Chablis.
Intense and slightly smoky nose, with almonds and pink grapefruit aromas.
Fresh and unctuous palate, with notes of dried fruits and lime. A long and dense finish.
