Pascal Bouchard - Petit Chablis Blancs Cailloux
Located in the heart of the Chablis region, Maison Pascal Bouchard offers a full range of wines from Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois region, spreading over 40 hectares. Pascal Bouchard is one of the leading negociants, working closely with small quality groomed growers. The impressive modern cuverie is perfectly suited to the highest quality requirement with crop handled by gravity, possibility to vinify micro-cuvées separately thanks to a park of various tank sizes, and an underground thermo-regulated wine cellar to allow the wines to age perfectly. All the bottling and shipping is done on site. In 2015 Maison Pascal Bouchard got purchased by Burgundy Maison Albert Bichot, also proprietor of Chablis Château Long-Depaquit. The two entities share their respective knowledge, even though they are run and managed separately. Pascal Bouchard wines have a strong presence in the domestic market but they are also exported to 40 countries around the world.
100% chardonnay - Petit Chablis comes from the Portlandian limestone based plateau overlooking the main Chablis vineyards and the town. Aged 6 months on lees in stainless steel tanks.
Mineral and fruity notes typical of the appellation shine through, following a six-month maturation in stainless steel. Refreshing and lively with hints of flint and mineral salty notes. Chalk, lemon and apple are featured in the tense mouth. This is a quaffing wine!
