Description
What kind of wine it is
Domaine Denis Race Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is a white wine that expresses the authentic character of Chardonnay. Produced in the Chablis region of Burgundy, it stands out for its aromatic precision. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour, opening up to intense aromas of ripe fruit intertwined with fresh citrus notes. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant mineral freshness balanced by a pleasant softness, outlining a linear style ideal for accompanying fish dishes, white meats or cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Chablis, Burgundy, where Domaine Denis Race tends the vineyards according to the principles of organic farming. The Premier Cru Vaillons area is distinguished by its unique marly and calcareous soils, rich in ancient fossil deposits of Kimmeridgian origin. This particular soil composition directly influences the wine, imparting a pronounced gustatory tension that allows the Chardonnay to reveal a clear fruit expression deeply rooted in its place of origin.
How it is produced
After harvesting, the Chardonnay grapes begin the vinification process in the cellar. Fermentation in stainless steel takes place at a controlled temperature, an ideal method for preserving the aromatic liveliness. Maturation continues in the same containers until bottling, with no use of wood. This precise technical choice fully enhances the wine's balanced structure, ensuring a dry sip, defined by a marked minerality and supported by an elegant lively acidity.
