WINE DESCRIPTION
Alain Geoffroy Petit Chablis is a delightful white wine produced by Alain Geoffroy, a renowned winemaker in the Chablis region of France. This wine comes from the Petit Chablis appellation, which is known for its limestone-rich soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The vineyards are located on gentle slopes that receive ample sunlight, allowing the grapes to ripen fully. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and vibrant, with notes of citrus, green apple, and a subtle hint of flint. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, salads, and light dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alain Geoffroy Petit Chablis is an excellent example of Chablis.This wine offers a classic Chablis nose of lemon and apple. On the palate, this elegant wine has a creamy texture and mineral-driven flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and a hint of white pepper. The finish is long and crisp, with a touch of minerality and a lingering citrus zest. Enjoy this delightful white with seafood dishes or as an aperitif.
