Regular price
$68.00
Sale
100% Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
NO ADDED SULFUR, VEGAN
A small plot of thirty acres in the heart of the hillside. An approachable wine that can be enjoyed on many occasions and can be cellared for four to ten years. Vinification is done in stainless steel, with about 6 months in older barriques for elevage. 2018 was an exceptional vintage and Duplessis was able to forgo any additions of sulfur.
5th generation Lilian Duplessis has gained a reputation for his “immortal”, age‐worthy wines and unparalleled store of older vintages. For those who love the intense minerality and glacially slow development of great Chablis, these are wines of reference. The 10 hectare property is organic Ecocert certified with mainly 50‐year‐old vines. Soils are classic Kimmeridgian with some marne and clay. Lilian makes some of the purest, most terroir-driven wines in the region.
