Simonnet Febvre - Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2021
Tasting notes
This wine is clean and bright with a pale golden color tinged with green notes. The nose offers delicate floral and mineral notes. In the mouth the wine is lively, very mineral and shows the perfect balance between tension and elegance. Produced from vines with an average age of 35 years old and aged in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 months on the lees. Ideal served with seafood, fish and white meat.
Vineyard
Situated on the left bank of the Serein river, the Côte de Léchet benefits from a south easterly exposure to the sun. Thanks to this sun exposure the very feeble and pebbly soils produce small yields and early-ripening grapes.
Estate
Founded in 1840, Maison Simonnet-Febvre is a traditional Chablis winery and amongst the oldest in the area. Nowadays Simonnet-Febvre produces a wide range of wines expressing the different terroirs of the Chablis and Grand Auxerrois vineyards. The estate’s style is asserted with the same conviction throughout the whole range of wines, from the famous Saint-Bris to their outstanding Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos".
They also carry out the historical legacy of being the only winery in Chablis to produce a range of Crémants de Bourgogne. Owning 15 hectares of vineyards in the Auxois area which is halfway between Chablis and Beaune. Bought by Maison Louis Latour in 2003, the estate is led by Paul Espitalié who managed to inspire a new dynamic while keeping its independence by running it as a separate enterprise with its own house style.
