CHABLIS Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes
A few words on the appellation...
Situated in the vineyards of Chablis, this appellation of the same name,
Chablis, only makes white wines. The vines, planted on calcareous
soils, give it the mineral and iodised notes that are so typical of it. Here,
Chablis is a Premier Cru, the guarantee of uncompromising quality.
100% Chardonnay
After being harvested by hand, the grapes are destalked and then
pressed ready for vinification in new 500 litre oak barrels. The wines are
then aged for 6 to 12 months in barrels that have seen two previous
vintages.
Its clear, pale gold robe, reveals a fresh, lively and mineral nose: flint,
green apple and lemon, with lime, mint and acacia notes. Age makes it
a little more golden and spicy. On the palate, it has a beautiful attack
and aromas that keep their freshness. It is a Chablis with a long finish;
it is dry, and perfectly elegant.
This Chablis Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes is the ideal accompaniment
for fish or poultry terrines as well as for grilled or poached fish. It is
perfect with asparagus and it is also delicious with exotic cuisine,
curries and tandoori dishes of all kinds. A wonderful aperitif, it also
pairs magnificently with such cheeses as goat, Beaufort, Comté and
Emmental.
Best served between 10° and 11°C. Can be kept for 3 to 5 years, but no
longer to retain all its freshness.

JEAN-LUC AEGERTER AND PAUL AEGERTER
The Aegerters, a father and son team, are creators and developers. They did not inherit an estate; they built it together, each contributing his own knowledge and aspirations. United by the same passion for nature in general and vines in particular, Jean-Luc the pioneer and Paul the visionary freely chose this profession. They began a shared story, developed their knowledge and allowed their ideas to mature. Paul, now the sole head of the family company, is continuing this family adventure and starting a new chapter: one about a flourishing business.
30 YEARS OF CREATION IN A BOTTLE
The Maison Aegerter, located in Nuit-Saint-Georges, Côte-d’Or, is thriving in a region known for both its traditions and its innovations.
The Aegerters believe that nature cannot be hurried. It must be listened to and pampered. All the vintages, from the most accessible to the most exceptional, have one thing in common: they are the outcome of a resolutely modern vision and dynamic. The best of Burgundy’s terroirs is well worth it. These passionate people are daring enough to leave the beaten track and offer all consumers, beginners and experts alike, carefully picked selections, new blends and different bottles.
