Vaucoupin has the charisma of great Chablis: freshness, volume, structure, and chalky minerality. Nestled on the right bank of the Serein, in the town of Chichée, this Premier Cru covers 45 hectares.
Made from 100% Chardonnay harvested from 40-year-old vines, matured on lees for 4-5 months. The wine spends 10 months in 100% stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness of the wine.
The nose is fruity and elegant. It reveals notes of ripe lemon, ripe clementine and hints of yellow plum and fresh peach.
The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, and racy. It stands out for its beautiful tension, marked minerality and elegant structure , with a long, saline finish .
This can be kept for 8 to 10 years. It will develop aromas of almond and leather with ripe fruit as it ages.
Enjoy this with fish in Hollandaise sauce, lobster salad or aged goat's cheese.
