Description
Petit Chablis Sycomore 2021 LC Poitout
Variety: Chardonnay 100%
Organic Terra Vitis
Straw yellow.
The nose has very fine aromas of white flowers with gentle tones, those of acacia and chamomile. Follows the fruit and yellow citrus peel. Aromatic herbs and marine notes complicate the prospect, and make it more fascinating.
On the palate it shines for its severe structure and at the same time for the correct fatness, adequate to bring the balance into balance. Also notable is the depth and persistence, including fresh aromas of honey, spices and iodine. Excellent is the right adjective.
A great chablis, which is a credit to Burgundy, far superior to its classification. Also in this vintage the best Petit Chablis of 2021 is confirmed.
Petit Chablis Sycomore 2021 LC Poitout
LC Poitout have 6.6 hectares classified petit chablis: “Sur le clos” in Chablis, in Villy the Cotes and La Magrette vineyards, and soon in Lignorelles.
The vineyards are very different from each other and for this reason they are vinified separately.
The Sycomore comes exclusively from the vineyard on Les Clos. Situated above the Valmur and Vaudesir gran cru vineyards, it is divided into three different parcels: La Cathy, La Emilie and La Paul.
Planted between 1988 and 1989 by Catherine, it is the vineyard to which they are most attached. The soil is thin clay with a lot of pebbles. The sun comes free, and the temperature is always optimal for the ripening of the grapes. With the warming of the planet, the places higher up and farther north, which before had difficulty finding fruit ripeness, have now become perfect.
After the harvest by hand, the grapes ferment in stainless steel containers. All the chablis of Louis and Catherine ferment and refine exclusively in steel.
Once fermentation is complete, static filtration is awaited, then decanting, malolactic transformation and the related refining in steel.
