Product Description:

The Vaillons comes from 50-60 year old vines grown on the classic Chablis Kimmeridgian soils, which contain fossilized marine organisms and other elements crucial for developing complexity and longevity in Chardonnay. Left bank Premier Cru Chablis typically shows a very elegant profile and offers an outstanding price-to-value ratio.

Hand-picked grapes are transported as rapidly as possible to the cellar. After a gentle pressing, the juice is racked for 12 to 14 hours where malolactic fermentation takes place on the lees in temperature controlled vats. Only indigenous yeast is used. All lots are vinitified and aged in small stainless steel tanks, lightly fined before bottling. Like all Barat wines, the Chablis A.O.C. is produced in an environmentally-conscious manner.
