Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru 2021
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Blanchots is one of the 7 Chablis vineyards collectively identified as Grand Cru. This is a steep East-facing slope with stony soils producing wines with a firm structure and concentrated citrus flavors.
Harvest Note
The 2021 vintage was memorable for the extreme challenges it posed to growers. The defining event was a hard freeze in April which lasted several days, and the subsequent dramatic reduction in harvest volumes. Added to this were cool and wet summer conditions which required constant vigilance. The delayed harvest eventually yielded tiny volumes of pristine grapes which express a vibrant and energetic purity.
Tasting Note
Dramatic and bold, this full-bodied white wine has both density and bracing acidity. Aromas of earth and citrus peel are present in the broad, expansive texture while saline notes dominate the long finish.
