Vineyards are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above Domaine de la Motte's Chablis classified plots and so achieve good ripeness. The soil is Portlandian, which is less chalky than Kimmeridgian, and typically produces wines which are less mineral and more fruity, well suited to earlier drinking. Having said that, Motte’s wine has real finesse with good fruit character – very much their house style. Cool-fermented in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is also in stainless steel and the wine is unoaked.

Chanzy Rully Blanc 'Les Cailloux' 2020

Sitting at 340m above sea level on a plateau, the stones here are larger and not only provide a great mineral backbone to the wines, but also keep the grapes warm into the evening. The 2019 is excellent, very green, lean and with a hint of the grassy green notes one finds
in Riesling or Semillon. Great acidity and structure and should age very nicely. 15 months ageing in 228L barrels.
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grapes: Chardonnay
Food Match: Wonderful with rich lobster linguini

An area previously overlooked for expressive Chablis, the Wengier wines have entered the world to much acclaim. Their careful attention to detail in the vineyards, which will be certified organic from 2023, along with long slow fermentations have resulted in a line-up of wines that is completely captivating.

Hints of spice, orange zest apple strudel, and a great backbone of acidity make this a very delicious wine indeed.
