👁 of a beautiful straw yellow with greenish reflections;

👃🏻 on the nose it is fine and expresses the typical aromas of citrus fruits, enriched by persistent mineral notes;

👄 in the mouth it is very fresh and has the typical flavor derived from the soils of the area. Very elegant finish.

RECOMMENDED COMBINATION

TERRITORY OF ORIGIN:

TERROR

We are in one of the most suitable areas in the world : Burgundy.

A unique and evocative territory, capable of producing extraordinary wines. The soil and climate conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vignerons, due to centuries of quality agronomic practices, determine a unique terroir. The care and specificities in this region lead to the definition of climat, protected by UNESCO.

The Burgundy vineyards stretch for approximately 250 km between Chablis to the north and Mâconnais to the south, bordering the Rhône valley. The climate is predominantly continental, with light maritime influences in the western area up to Dijon and Mediterranean influences in the southernmost area. Winters are cold, frosts are quite frequent, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the budding period but intense between May and June, and this can compromise flowering and therefore the harvest. The soil of Burgundy is made up of marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl and clay. The territory is divided into these large sub-regions: the Auxerrois, the Chablis to the north in the Yonne, then the Côte-d'Or, the Chalonnais and the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais. In Chablis and Auxerrois, calcareous-marly soils prevail, in the Côte d'Or the soil richer in limestone allows Pinot Noir to express all its class, while in the southern area clay and marl give great elegance to Chardonnay. In Chalonnais and Chalonnais limestone, marl and clay reign, while in Beaujolais the soil is calcareous, shale and clay.

CELLAR

We are in northern Burgundy, in the Chablis region, in a village called Chemilly-sur-Serein. The name of the Domaine de Chaude Ecuelle derives from a prestigious area called "lieu-dit", located south of Chablis, where many of the company's vineyards are located, divided into numerous individual parcels. Their vineyards are well cared for and produce grapes which, in addition to being of the highest quality, give the wines mineral and iodine notes thanks to the quality of the calcareous soils. The entire Vilain family is involved in viticulture and production, and contributes to transmitting and spreading the typical characteristics of Chablis with the 20 hectares of vineyards available.
