Gerard Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes Chardonnay

Gérard Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes - Chablis, Burgundy, France

Classic, generous and beautifully expressive, Gérard Tremblay's Vieilles Vignes offers a richer, more concentrated interpretation of Chablis while preserving the freshness and minerality that define the appellation. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple and ripe pear are complemented by white flowers, quince, toasted almonds and a subtle flinty note. The palate is broad and beautifully textured, with vibrant citrus fruit, crisp acidity and a chalky mineral backbone leading to a long, elegant finish. More depth and persistence than a classic village Chablis make this a wonderfully versatile white that continues to evolve in the glass. 

Produced from Chardonnay vines over 40 years old, the wine is grown on the famous Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils that have made Chablis one of the world's great white wine regions. Following gentle pneumatic pressing, the juice undergoes a natural settling by gravity before temperature-controlled alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured for 12 months in stainless steel, preserving the purity of the fruit while allowing the old vines to contribute additional texture, concentration and length. Domaine Gérard Tremblay has been family owned for five generations, with a reputation for producing classically styled Chablis that faithfully reflects its remarkable terroir.
