Domaine Testut Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2018 (France)
- Dry style
- Apple
- Melon
- Long finish
"There is a whiff of exotic fruit character to the apple, pear, melon and quinine-inflected nose. The well-detailed and solidly voluminous flavors possess good verve before concluding in a nicely dry, focused and sneaky long finish. This will drink well early as well as reward 3 to 6 years of keeping" Burghound, Oct 2019
A complex, dry wine with excellent mineral structure and white fruit aromas.
Ever since 1998, Cyril Testut has run the family Domaine started by his father Philippe in 1967. The family's vineyard holdings cover 13 ha of the Chablis AOC, where the Kimmeridgian clay and limestone unique to the region cultivate Chardonnay renowned for their distinctive salinity and minerality drawn from deep in the soil.
100% Chardonnay, from average age 50 year old vines over 9.5 ha in front of Grand Cru Blanchots and on the side of Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre. Hand-harvested from late September to early October. Vinified and aged in tank for up to 16 months, before bottling at the Testut Estate.
Food Pairing: Pair with seafood, white meats or rich mature cheeses.
