Description
The Chablis by Guillaume Vrignaud is a wine that expresses the elegance and purity of the terroir of the Chablis region, located in the northern part of Burgundy, France. This area is characterized by a cool climate and limestone soils rich in marine fossils, which give the wine its typical minerality and freshness. Vrignaud's vineyards are cultivated following sustainable and environmentally friendly practices aimed at preserving biodiversity and soil health. The grape used is exclusively Chardonnay, which in this region is expressed with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a pronounced acidity. The production process of Guillaume Vrignaud's Chablis is oriented towards enhancing the natural purity of the grape and the terroir. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and fruity aromas. The aging also mainly takes place in steel, with prolonged contact with fine lees to add complexity and structure to the wine. This winemaking method allows for a balanced Chablis, with a long finish and a marked mineral imprint, perfect to pair with fish and seafood dishes. Pairings: Guillaume Vrignaud's Chablis lends itself to various culinary interpretations thanks to its freshness and minerality. A particularly successful pairing is with seafood, such as oysters and clams, where the saline notes of the wine perfectly match the natural sweetness of these marine delicacies. Fish dishes, especially when simply steamed or grilled, also find an ideal accompaniment in Chablis, enhancing the delicacy of the fish without overpowering it. Another interesting pairing is with poultry dishes, particularly with roast chicken or cooked with fresh herb and lemon-based sauces. Here, the wine manages to enhance the flavors of the dish and cleanse the palate between bites. Fresh cheeses, such as not overly aged goat cheese, are perfect companions for Chablis, as their acidity and creaminess pleasantly contrast with the wine's structure. Finally, for those who love first courses, an asparagus risotto or with other spring vegetables can be a winning option. The wine elegantly accompanies the vegetal notes, making the dish even more pleasant and harmonious. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place Alcohol content: 12.50% Vintage: 2020 Designation: Chablis AOP
