Domaine de la Motte Petit Chablis

The baby sister to a grown up Chablis, this is a fantastic value wine.

A wine with real finesse, it has an aromatic fruit character with a good weight of palate and an elegant finish. Fresh and light, it's got all the classic citrus and green apple acidity you’d expect, but with a lovely ripeness to balance it out. Far superior than the word "Petit" might suggest!

Domaine de la Motte's vineyards for the Petit Chablis are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above the Chablis classified plots, so the Chardonnay grapes achieve good ripeness there.

Taste guide: a pleasing waft of wood smoke with crisp green apple on the nose is followed by ripe lemon, a touch of stone fruit and a hint of minerality on the finish.
