The wine
Pale lemon. Intense aromas of crisp green apple and citrus fruit with a marked minerality. Beautifully textured on the palate, with a crystalline acidity carrying the flavours through a long finish.
Vau de Vey sits on the left bank of the Serein west of Chablis, a steep east to south-east facing slope that takes the morning sun and falls into shade under the forest above by afternoon, which makes it a notably cooler site. L'Enclos work a 2.7 hectare parcel planted in 1979 on Kimmeridgian limestone, certified organic and hand-picked. Fermented on indigenous yeasts, then thirteen months on fine lees, half in oak and half in stainless steel.
