LOUIS JADOT CHABLIS CELLIER DU VALVAN 75CL 12.5%

Louis Jadot is one of the Premier Negociant names in all of Burgundy. Established in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, the house as went on to create wines from many of the most prized vineyards in all of Burgundy. The Chablis vineyards where this wine hails, are made special by the combination of continental climate (very cold in winter and hot in the summer with frosts in spring) and the marly limestone soils which combine to mould the unique character of Chablis wines.

Louis Jadots winemaker deliberately produces a fuller, fatter style of Chablis, more akin to some wines from the Cote d`Or. The wine is allowed to undergo a partial malolactic fermentation to soften and round the palate. The grapes for this particular Chablis are harvested by hand and put in small cases in order not to damage the fruits.

They are then softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels (1/3 are new) and aging usually lasts 15 months on fine lies before bottling. The result is a very nice golden yellow colour. It is a lipid, bright and fresh wine, whose taste and bouquet develop relatively quickly.

It should be served chilled, and can be served with oysters, charcuterie, fried fish and Roast Chicken or Roast Pork. Louis Jadot Chablis also goes very well with our goats cheese.
