Pure & Sublime Chablis Grand Cru
Fine mineral aromas with citrus and stone fruit notes. On the palate there is a depth of flavour expected of a grand cru, supported by fresh acidity and a mineral core. Very long finish.
Food Pairing: Oysters, grilled lobster, delicate fish dishes in creamy sauces, as well as white meats and poultry, also served in cream sauces.
BEHIND THE WINE
Domaine du Colombier has been in the family for well over a century, having been handed down from generation to generation since 1887. It was not until 1957 that Guy Mothe began to specialise in vinifying Chablis, a craft which his three sons continue to refine. In addition to producing linear and great value Petit Chablis and Chablis, their 55 hectares of vines includes parcels in Premier Cru vineyards Vaucoupin, Fourchaume and the Grand Cru vineyard of Bougros.
Thierry Mothe heads the vinification at the property. The wines are predominantly aged in tank to retain freshness and minerality, with the exception of the Grand Cru Bourgros which benefits from time in oak barrel.
