Domaine de la Motte Chablis 1er Cru Vau Ligneau 2023 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
Opens with delicate citrus aromatics - green apple and lemon zest - layered with sweet hay, dried grass, and subtle toast notes that hint at careful oak handling.
On the palate, crisp minerality dominates with pronounced flint and chalk characteristics, revealing savoury toast, textured citrus flavours, and a whisper of white stone fruit that build complexity with each sip. The wine displays excellent structure with a clean, focused profile - characteristic of premier cru Chablis from this terroir.
A lingering mineral finish provides excellent length and persistence, with a distinctive saline quality that lingers on the tongue.
This is a refined, food-friendly expression with impressive purity and definition. The interplay between bright fruit and mineral elements creates a sophisticated, moreish character that rewards careful tasting and pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
