Description

Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret Chablis 'Le Bas de Chapelot' 2022

'Le Bas de Chapelot' is a stunning Chablis from the region's rising stars – Domaine Eleni & Edouard Vocoret.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay sourced from 40-year-old vines in a 3.2 hectare plot just beneath the famous 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre. The soils here are a bit deeper as it used to be a riverbed. The quality of this spot as a ‘village wine’ is outstanding. The plot has a southeast exposition and deep soils of clay and limestone composition.

Taste Profile: Stoney, salty, acidic yet smooth. Notes of white peach, soft lemon zest, ripe pear and plenty of minerality. A very smooth feel and a bit of weight on the palate. Mineral rather than fruit-driven, with a round character and crisp acidity that offers precision and finesse. Wraps up in a long, refreshing lemon and steel finish.

Winemaking Process: The grapes are harvested by hand and then wild fermented in steel tanks. The wine then matures in 6–30 year old barriques for 12 months.

Top tip: Delicious to drink now, but has the quality to mature for up to 5 years from bottling.

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
