Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2020.
VINEYARDS: This is the largest and most famous Grand Cru; its fame based on its history as one of Chablis’ first vineyards. The appellation enjoys a southerly aspect with very white, dense and deep clay soil, resting on a limestone bed 80 cm below the ground, which brings to the wine those spicy notes so typical of this terroir..
SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF CHABLIS: Chalky clay, marl, and marly limestone from the Kimmeridgian era (the upper Jurassic geological period, 160-140 million years ago), rich in minerals and oyster fossils, giving the mineral character typical of the wines of Chablis
SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF THE APPELLATION: Stony soil. Very white, dense and deep clay, mixed with a conglomerate of fossils and stones. The compressed limestone at a depth of 80 cm contributes aromas and spice to this Grand Cru in its youth.
