La Meulière Chablis Half Bottle: A Refreshing White Delight (37.5cl)

Produced by the esteemed Laroche family, who have been crafting wines in Chablis since 1780, this delightful half bottle offers all the hallmarks of a great Chablis in a single serving size.

A Legacy in Every Bottle

Domaine de la Meulière is situated in Fleys, a small village just outside Chablis itself. The Laroche brothers, Vincent and Nicolas, represent the eighth and ninth generations to steward this esteemed estate. They combine a deep respect for tradition with modern winemaking techniques, resulting in wines that showcase the unique character of the Chablis terroir.

Unveiling the Chablis Character

Chablis is renowned for its Chardonnay grapes grown in a specific geological zone. The Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Chablis impart a distinctive minerality to the wines, often described as a touch of "gunflint." La Meulière Chablis Half Bottle embodies this quintessential Chablis characteristic.

On the Nose: Delicate aromas of white flowers, such as acacia and honeysuckle, mingle with refreshing citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon zest. The subtle smokiness of gunflint minerality adds a touch of intrigue.

On the Palate: The first sip delivers a burst of crisp acidity, invigorating the senses. Flavours of white stone fruits, like apples and pears, come to the fore, complemented by the underlying minerality. The wine displays a balanced structure and a lingering, refreshing finish.
