Complete Duplessis, Gerard 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Vaugiraut Holiday Edition [yBKXGSRv]

Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaugiraut

Experience the exquisite Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaugiraut, a wine that embodies the finest terroir of Chablis. Nestled on the left bank of the Serein River, south of the village of Chablis, Vaugiraut boasts a unique south-facing amphitheater that provides ideal conditions for ripening. This Premier Cru vineyard is protected from winds and basks in the warmth of the late afternoon sun, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality.

Unmatched Terroir and Climate

The Vaugiraut vineyard's location offers a perfect blend of natural elements that contribute to the wine's distinct character. The south-facing aspect allows for extended exposure to sunlight, ensuring optimal ripeness of the grapes. The vineyard's proximity to the river provides a microclimate that mitigates extreme temperatures, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and powerful.

• South-facing amphitheater for optimal sunlight exposure
• Proximity to the Serein River for a balanced microclimate

Unique Winemaking Technique

What sets the Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaugiraut apart from other Premier Crus is its unique winemaking process. Unlike many Chablis wines, this bottling undergoes no oak aging, ensuring that the pure expression of the vineyard's terroir shines through. The entire élevage (aging) process is conducted in stainless steel, preserving the wine's crispness and minerality.

• No oak aging for a pure expression of the vineyard's terroir
• Stainless steel aging to maintain crispness and minerality

This distinctive approach is a testament to Duplessis' commitment to crafting wines that reflect the true essence of their vineyards.
