Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey - 2019 - Alice et Olivier De Moor

100% Chardonnay from vines acquired in 2017, and farmed organically. This Premier Cru faces Southeast and benefits from both a cool climate and morning sunshine. Very steep slopes and soils composed of a thick layer of Kimmeridgian marl. The grapes are picked by hand when ripe, sorted in the vineyard and in the cellar, followed by gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and maturation on lees in barrels that have seen several wines. Neither fined nor filtered, with just a microdose of sulphur at bottling.
