The Parting Glass - Domaine Des Geneves Cuvee Racines Chablis

Racines is the French for roots, so this is an old vine or vielle vigne wine. Domaine des Genèves is an area of more than 20 hectares in the village of Fleys in Burgundy, one of the 19 villages producing Chablis wines is a vineyard belonging to the family of Dominique Aufrère for several generations. This Chablis Vieilles Vignes is a very beautiful representative of the appellation: pale gold, fresh and lively nose, frank attack in the mouth, and especially finesse and richness of aromas thanks to the mineral extraction brought by the old vines. (Selection of vines over 45 years old). The first nose of this wine will be marked by the fruity side. On the palate, a pleasantly fatty wine, with aromas of dried fruit, pineapple and white-fleshed fruits that give a very good scale. The floral side will also be present, which is rare: most of the time, the wines of Chablis offer especially fruity aromas. A very pleasant minty side will also follow.
