- TASTING NOTE: Intense and focused old school Chablis. No oak treatment lets the oyster shell and sea spray character of the region sing. A lovely spear of acidity runs through this wine with layers of citrus and a mouth watering mineral snap to the finish.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Produced from vines of 40 years average age. Whole clusters are pressed directly to concrete tank for a natural ferment. Elevage is also in tank. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Winemaker Francis Boudin is one of the remaining members of Chablis’ true artisanal ranks, vine growers who refuse to be seduced by modern shortcuts but craft Chablis as naturally and as authentically as possible. For the Boudins, this has meant Chablis without any oak influence, or “barrel-free Chablis.” Also in keeping with their natural philosophy, the Boudins did not replant their Chardonnay vines with high-yielding clones, as was the fad in the 1970s in Chablis. As a result, their older vines are naturally low yielding, allowing fruit to better express its terroir. Boudin Chablis is striking in its citrus-inspired flavors, its pure aromas and its mouth-watering, tangy finish.
