Verget Chablis Cuvee de la Butte 2018

The 2018 Chablis Cuvée de la Butte is a success, revealing pretty aromas of citrus oil, grapefruit, white flowers and oyster jus. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample but stony, with racy acids and a saline finish. William Kelley - Wine Advocate

This cracking villages bottling comes from a parcel of vines located close to the 1er Cru Les Butteaux (prompting the cheeky name which literally translates to “wine of the hill”). These vines are situated on a sudden slope with very chalky soil, rich in white clay. As with each of Verget’s Chablis wines, only the free run juices were vinified, in this case, 95% in the domaine’s bespoke horizontal stainless-steel tanks and 5% in barrel. The wine was bottled after seven months on lees. Importer note
