Maison Albert Bichot, Chablis Grand Cru "Les Blanchots", 2022

Located on the extreme east side of Chablis, « Les Blanchots » is a parcel of vineyard quite unique among the Chablis Grands Crus. Its clay and limestone soil together with the presence of ferrous clay and predominant morning sunlight give "Les Blanchots" a very distinctive and dominating floral character with remarkable finesse. It must be noted that this is the last vineyard parcel to be harvested every year. With an East South east exposure, this strongly-steeped parcel of vineyard is particular in that the sun does not reach it as from mid-afternoon. Its clay and limestone soil originating from upper Jurassic sedimentary strata (Kimmeridgian) make this a rather special and fragile terroir. Consequently we take great care of this 4 acre parcel. Laboured with attention, it is the source of a rare and delicate wine.
