Domaine Ellevin - Chablis 1er Cru - 'Vaucoupin' - white - 2022

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: 100% Chardonnay.

Tasting notes:  Lovely, light yellow colour which is very intense. When opening, an exemplary fruit dominates a very expressive and fragrant smell. Lovely aromas of citruses, pears and Mirabelle plums completed by a pleasant touch of minerals. Excellent texture. Rich, covered, almost oily for a particularly charming wine. This first-class wine is among the most widely known wines of the region.

 About the winery: Domaine Jean Pierre & Alexandre Ellevin is located 4km outside of Chablis in Burgundy and it is composed of a total of 13 ha. that includes wines from the following appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis and Premier Cru Vaucoupin and Vosgros.
