Vinification of the Chablis from Grand Auxerrois Chardonnay

The Chablis Grand Auxerrois Chardonnay is produced in one of the most renowned wine regions of France, in Burgundy, more precisely in the subregion of Chablis & Grand Auxerrois. There, the Chardonnay grapes thrive on chalky soils rich in mineral components. These influences are largely responsible for shaping the wine’s unique character. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in order to select only the ripest and highest-quality berries. This careful harvest protects the structure and purity of the aromas.

The initial processing of the must takes place under temperature control at cool temperatures to preserve the delicate fruit notes. Vinification involves a slow fermentation with natural yeasts, which carefully brings out the terroir and varietal typicity. Maturation takes place predominantly in stainless steel tanks to maintain the wine’s freshness and minerality. Wooden barrels are used only rarely, thus preserving the typical Chablis profile with a clear, fruit-focused style. The result is a white wine with a clear structure that impressively showcases the elegance and freshness of Chardonnay from Grand Auxerrois.
