2020 Pascal Robin Chablis L'Oree Delys Vieilles Vignes

Pascal Robin is a passionate vigneron and runs his negociant business from the cellar of his house in Quenne, just west of Chablis. He sources grapes from across the Chablis region, and works to biodynamic principles in the cellar including respecting the lunar cycles, and a light touch with vinification. Ageing occurs in a mix of stainless steel tanks and old oak barrels, and the wines stay on their lees for a period of 10 to 18 months. Authentic Chablis made with exacting standards designed to work wonders with a range of cuisine.

L'Oree Delys is a vineyard located in the commune of Milly, with the vines planted in 1938. The plot is north facing, situated next to the premier cru vineyard of Les Lys. Pascal uses only indigenous yeast for fermentation, and vinifies this wine with 50% in stainless steel vats and 50% old neutral oak.

Other Reviews....
From vines planted in 1938 not far from premier cru Les Lys, the 2020 Chablis Vieilles Vignes L'Orée Délys reveals attractive aromas of citrus zest, honeycomb, white flowers and pear, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate that's pure, fleshy and precise. This is a strong effort from Robin. Drink 2022 - 2030.
