Petit Chablis 2018
Billaud-Simon Petit Chablis is sourced from higher elevation vineyards throughout the appellation. Grapes are pneumatically pressed at the domaine and macerated at cool temperatures for a period of 5 to 7 days. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, and ageing all occur in stainless steel vat. The wine is aged for 9 months prior to bottling.
Additional Information
Attractive white gold color with delicate, pale green reflections. The nose offers citrus and white flowers. The palate is refined, smooth and rich. Everything is perfectly balanced: lively yet discreet, mineral without being dry, fruity yet refined.

Date: Thursday, July 16, 2020"Aromas of pear, citrus oil and dried white flowers introduce the 2018 Petit Chablis, a medium-bodied, elegantly fleshy wine with lively acids and a saline finish. Bottled under Diam, this will drink well young."
