✨ Technical Specifications
Produced by Stéphane Brocard's boutique negociant Closerie des Alisiers, this Chablis Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes comes from old Chardonnay vines grown on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilized marine life. The fruit is grown sustainably and vinified with minimal intervention, typically utilizing stainless steel or neutral oak to preserve the pure minerality, intense acidity, and flinty tension characteristic of top Chablis 1er Cru terroir.
