100% Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Two south-facing plots at the top of the slope, where the very stony soil imparts a beautiful minerality. The quintessential dry white wine, both long and precise. Vinification is done in stainless steel, with about 6 months in older barriques for elevage. All the wines are fermented naturally and minimally sulfured at bottling.
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.
