Domaine Nathalie & Gilles Fevre Chablis 2023《ZTF299》

THE ESTATE'S VINEYARDS COVER A TOTAL OF 50 HECTARES, INCLUDING 33 HECTARES IN CHABLIS, 1.5 HECTARES IN PETIT CHABLIS, 12.7 HECTARES IN PREMIER CRU, AND 2.3 HECTARES IN GRAND CRU. THE VINEYARDS ARE SPREAD OVER A WIDE AREA, ENJOYING EXCELLENT TERROIR CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE PREMIER CRU AND GRAND CRU VINEYARDS. THESE CONDITIONS NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE VINES WITH THE NECESSARY WATER AND NUTRIENTS, BUT ALSO IMPART A SUBTLE MINERALITY TO THE GRAPES. THE SOILS OF THE PREMIER CRU VINEYARDS ARE TYPICAL KIMMERIDGIEN SOILS, RICH IN MINERALS AND WITH SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF LIMESTONE AND CHALK. THE VINEYARDS ARE SITUATED ON A GENTLY SLOPED, SUNNY SOUTHERN LOCATION, IDEALLY ABSORBING SUNLIGHT AND HEAT.

Winemaking

FURTHERMORE, DURING THE WINEMAKING AND MATURATION PROCESS, THE WINERY ALLOWS THE WINE TO REMAIN IN FULL CONTACT WITH ITS LEES FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS, DEVELOPING COMPLEX AROMAS SUCH AS BREAD AND BISCUITS, AND ENHANCING THE WINE'S SMOOTHNESS AND TEXTURE. THE WINERY MATURES 15% OF THE WINE IN OAK BARRELS, WHILE THE REMAINDER IS AGED IN TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED STAINLESS STEEL TANKS. THE TWO ARE THEN BLENDED BEFORE BOTTLING. TO ENSURE THE QUALITY AND TASTE OF THE WINE, THE WINERY PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WINE'S STORAGE ENVIRONMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, STORING THE WINE IN A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED CELLAR UNTIL SHIPMENT.

FRESH AND FRUITY, WITH AROMAS OF WHITE PEACH AND CITRUS, AND SHOWING GOOD MINERALITY, IT CAN BE USED AS AN APERITIF BEFORE A MEAL AND COMPLEMENTS OYSTERS, SHELLS AND GRILLED FISH.
