TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

These vines are only 34 years old, but they give this wine incredible structure and intensity. The palate feel is a study in architecture! Nicely weighty in concentrated fruit, the use of 30% new and large 500-litre foudres nicely rounds out the plush palate. Crackling acidity and a tugging, chalky finish provide further definition to this delicious wine tasting of brioche and spiced yellow plums. Tim Atkin MW - Decanter

Producer

Guillaume Vrinaud

Guillaume Vrignaud joined his father in 1999 when they decided to exit the local co-op and forge ahead making their own wines. His father planted a swathe of vines in 1978, and there are also some sections of massale plantings dating from 1955 in the 1er crus. The wines of Vrignaud offer the classical hits of Chablis; jagged acidity, sea spray and iodine notes concentrated citrus and white floral lift and an undertow of rocky earthy notes. Stainless steel dominates the winery, capturing the oceanic seashell minerality of their origins. In two crus some larger old oak is also used to add a layer of richness and breadth to the wines, adding structure for longevity and oxygenating the wines to temper reductive elements.
