Description
La Soeur Cadette’s Chablis is a magnificent new cuvée, true to the estate’s spirit. Aromatic precision (citrus notes, white flowers), minerality, and a mouth-watering tension: it has it all! … The body, combined with its vigour and the salty finish, makes it an ideal companion for the table. Try an AAAAA andouillette, grilled squid with garlic sauce, or goat’s cheese as a starter.
Unique terroir
The terroir’s uniqueness stems from the uplift of the limestone layers by the Morvan granite massif during its formation. The vineyard itself is situated on older limestone layers: the Bajocian, the Upper and Lower Bathonian for the most part, as well as the Lias. To this complex geology must be added the orientation of the vines, which is of course just as important! The estate’s vines face south-east to south-west. The south-west is particularly well-suited to Chardonnay as the sun shines later in the evening in September and ripeness is often better there.
La Soeur Cadette Chablis
La Soeur Cadette Chablis is a 100% Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone soils on the right bank of the Serein. 40-year-old vines. Pneumatic pressing. Natural settling by gravity.

Organic farming
