Description
What kind of wine it is
The Chablis by Domaine Denis Race is a still white wine that perfectly embodies the essence of Chardonnay. Produced by a family-run estate now in its fourth generation, this wine combines pronounced aromatic freshness with a full and harmonious body. Visually, it displays a bright straw yellow hue. The bouquet reveals elegant floral fragrances, enriched with vegetal nuances and unmistakable chalky notes. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, with a savoury profile and remarkable persistence, ideal for those who appreciate a crisp and characterful sip.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Chablis, a renowned area of Burgundy. The vineyards of Domaine Denis Race cover eighteen privileged hectares, entirely dedicated to the cultivation of Chardonnay. The secret of this land lies in its marly and calcareous soils, rich in fossil deposits, which give the wine its famous mineral character. The agronomic management adopts sustainable practices, aimed at protecting the ecosystem and enhancing the purity of the vine. This deep connection with the land translates into a vibrant structure and a clear territorial identity.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with the harvesting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, essential for maintaining the fruit's liveliness. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a nine-month maturation phase, also in steel tanks, with no contact with wood, thus preserving its precise flavour profile. Served chilled, at a temperature between ten and twelve degrees, it guarantees an extremely harmonious drinking experience. At the table, it proves to be a versatile pairing, capable of enhancing fish dishes, white meats, vegetarian dishes and cheeses.
