Description

Domaine des Hates Petit Chablis 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from Burgundy, France. Surrounded by AOC vineyards, it’s only the younger age of the Portlandian soils, as opposed to the traditional Kimmeridgian that keeps this from being an AOC Chablis. In fact, the vineyards themselves are surrounded on all sides by AOC vineyards

Taste Profile: Bright straw colour with flecks of green. Aromas of green apple, pear and lime. Nicely rounded with flavours of pear, citrus and green apple overlaying stony mineral and oyster shell elements. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a stony mid-length aftertaste

Winemaking Process: Gravity-fed, malolactic fermentation and aged in stainless steel

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
