IN ORGANIC CONVERSION

Keywords: Material / Minerality / Complexity

The wine: The 1er Cru Mont de Milieu is a plot which is characterized by a facing south, allowing the grapes to bathe in the sun throughout the day. This terroir, coupled with skillfully measured aging by the Garnier estate (70% in demi-muids and 30% in stainless steel vats), gives this vintage a delicious substance and a very delicious roundness t3>. Notes of butter as well as a light vanilla woodiness can indeed be perceived on the nose as well as on the palate. Nevertheless, we are here in Chablis and the minerality of this great wine shines through immediately, accompanied by a classy fruitiness evolving on citrus fruits, green apple and pear . The finish is salty and lasts for many seconds. A magnificent Premier Cru to open with fish in sauce or langoustines!

The estate: Located in Ligny-le-Châtel to the north of Chablis, the domain Garnier & Fils is a family property managed by two brothers: Jérôme and Xavier. One in the cellar, the other in the vineyard, the two partners each have their own field of action on their 30 hectare vineyard exclusively located within the AOC Chablis and Petit Chablis. The Premiers Crus and Grands Crus come from grape purchases from partner winegrowers. Be careful though, here the selection is strict and the plots chosen carefully in order to create great local wines! The aging is no less subtle, varying between stainless steel vats, tuns and oak barrels, without ever heavily marking the wines. The yeasts used for fermentation are also indigenous and only very light filtration is carried out before bottling in order to have as little impact as possible on the vintages. Set out to discover their range of Chablis of great character!
