Chablis Grand Cru ‘Vaudesir’, Gerard Tremblay
£55.00
Gérard Tremblay and his wife, Hélène, oversee a domain that they inherited in a line of five generations, but which they
have mostly built themselves. With 80 acres of vines under production, most of them in the best Premier Cru and Grand
Cru appellations, their list of Chablis is among the most prestigious in the region.
Tremblay is known locally as an accomplished wine maker. He is justly famous for his ability to draw out the typicity of
distinct appellations, underlining the terroir of his vines vintage after vintage.
Set between Preuses and Grenouilles, the Vaudésir climat is divided into two parts by the track called “le chemin des Vaudésirs”.
Very steep in places, its soil type seems rather lighter than most, and contains less lime. This increasing “earthiness”
tends to mark the wines, which can be drunk young if one is looking for crispness. The full structure of the wines will take
several years to develop however, as with all the Grands Crus. Their extreme delicacy has given Vaudésir the reputation
of being the most feminine of all the climats.
An elegant wine for the finest occasions.

This is a great value certified organic wine from the Castano family in South East Spain. This Macabeo (known as Viura further north in Spain and Macabeu in France) is a lovely light, fresh wine with good depth of citrus flavours. A versatile food wine with enough flavour to stand up to some spice but also delicious on it’s own!
