Description
Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is a wine of exceptional quality, reflecting the unique characteristics of the Chablis terroir. Produced in one of the most important parcels of Vaillons, this wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown on Kimmeridgian limestone soils that provide a unique minerality typical of the region.
The Vaillons vineyards are located on a slope with south-southeast exposure, which ensures good ripening of the grapes, and have an altitude that varies between 160 and 200 metres above sea level. These climatic and geological conditions allow the wine to acquire a distinctive character, with a perfect balance between freshness and fruit ripeness.
Winemaking
The winemaking process begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, which ensures careful selection and preserves the quality of the fruit. After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pneumatic pressing, followed by natural enzymatic decanting for 12 to 24 hours at controlled temperatures of around 15°C, which favours the extraction of the most delicate aromas and flavours.
Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, which adds complexity and authenticity to the wine. This process takes place in both stainless steel tanks and neutral French oak barrels, with 80% of the wine fermented in tanks and 20% in barrels. In addition, a full malolactic fermentation is carried out to soften the acidity of the wine, resulting in a rounder, creamier texture. Ageing is extended for 10 months, allowing the wine to develop its aromatic and structural complexity before bottling. If necessary, a light fining and filtration process is carried out before bottling.
Taste
Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is characterised by its purity and precision. On the nose, notes of white flowers such as jasmine stand out, accompanied by aromas of light honey, orange peel and lemon zest. The minerality, one of the most distinctive features of this wine, manifests itself in notes of oysters and sea air, evoking the unique character of the soils of Chablis.
On the palate, the wine offers a vibrant acidity that balances its medium to full body. The mouthfeel is delicate and perfumed, with a freshness that combines with citrus flavours and a notably saline finish. This combination of freshness, acidity and minerality makes Chablis Vaillons an ideal wine to accompany seafood, oysters and fish, as well as fresh goat cheeses and regional cheeses.
Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons has an interesting ageing potential, developing over time more complex menthol notes and deepening its mineral character. As it ages, it loses its youthful floral profile and gains in richness and depth, making it an excellent choice both to enjoy young and to cellar for a few years.
