Soil type :

The delimited area of Chablis Premiers Crus wines is located on limestone soils from the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian era, which are very rich in marine fossils, in particular Exogyra Virgula, a small oyster typical of Chablis soils. Les Forêts occupies one of the slopes of the valleys that join the valley, on the left bank of the Serein, facing south-east. This parcel is composed of blue clay, which makes the soil very compact. This particular terroir produces wines of original complexity.

Vinification :

Pneumatic pressing and cold static settling.
Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and ageing 90% in ovoid concrete vats 10% in 228-litre Burgundy barrels.

tasting

With the aromatic youthfulness of white flowers and exotic fruits, this Forêts unveils a structured, rich, and full-bodied wine, with a lingering acidity on the finish and a beautiful length of ripe fruits. It pairs wonderfully with delicately prepared fish, white poultry, and even a cheese platter.

Organic Certification :

Organic certification obtained starting from the 2018 vintage. Certified by Bureau Veritas FR-BIO-10.
