Description
What kind of wine it is
The Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet by Domaine d’Elise is an elegant still white wine that expresses the authenticity of Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays an intense straw yellow colour, a prelude to a bouquet characterised by aromas of wet stone, lemon and peach. On the palate, the juiciness of the fruit meets a lively freshness, offering a good structure that leads the tasting towards a persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This white wine is born in Chablis, in the northernmost area of Burgundy, characterised by a distinctly cool climate. Such conditions give the Chardonnay a vibrant acidity and a pronounced minerality, with evocative hints of flint, outlining a more taut and linear profile compared to the nearby Côte d’Or. The renowned Premier Cru Côte de Léchet vineyard gives the wine a profound territorial character and a remarkable ageing potential.
How it is produced
Production focuses on meticulous grape processing and subsequent vinification in steel, a stylistic choice aimed at preserving the natural tension of the fruit. The absence of wood ageing enhances the clarity of flavour in this Chablis Premier Cru. At the table, it pairs beautifully with cheeses and vegetarian dishes, particularly enhancing white fish and poultry-based recipes. To fully appreciate its balance, a serving temperature between 10 and 12 °C is recommended.

This is the northernmost area of Burgundy, with vineyards grown almost exclusively in Chardonnay that generate dry white wines renowned for their purity and minerality.
The colder climate than the classic Burgundy produces wines with more acidity and less fruity flavors than the Chardonnay of the Côte d'Or, with those notes of "pierre à fusil", and just metallic, which make them as recognizable as pleasant.
Compared to white wines from the heart of Burgundy, Chablis is almost never vinified and aged in wood. Steel in vinification is preferred and the choice of partially or completely wood refining is granted to the individual producer.
The AOC Chablis since 1938 did not include the petit Chablis, which entered then in January 1944. All Chablis vineyards fall into four denominations with different classification levels: only 7 grand Cru are located and all located on a single hill near the town of Chablis. Read more
