2022 Isabelle et Dennis Pommier Petit Chablis

Isabelle et Denis Pommier, or Pommier as they are known, is a small family producer from Chablis that produces pristine high-quality wines that are highly appreciated internationally. Isabelle and Denis Pommier cherish the unique soil in Chablis, where they have owned vineyards since 1990. They started with 2 hectares, on which the family grew grapes, the juice of which was sold to other winemakers. In the following years, they planted vines in Chablis and Petit Chablis. With their first own wine, in 1994, they immediately won the Concours des Vins de Chablis.

In the meantime, the vineyard has been expanded to 16 hectares in the appellations Petit Chablis, Chablis and Chablis premier cru. With this size, it is still a real family domain. Pommier works with respect for nature and is in conversion to organic. The wines are pure with the beautiful mineral tones that are so specific to Chablis, but also juicy and round in taste due to the clay-rich soil. Both in France (e.g. the Guide Hachette) and internationally (e.g. Robert Parker) the wines are regularly awarded. Parker calls Pommier one of the Chablis houses that is undergoing the most spectacular development.

The Petit Chablis "Hautérivien" by Isabelle and Denis Pommier is a white wine from the Chablis region in Burgundy, France. This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from vines that are approximately 25 years old, planted on clayey soils in the Villy area. The name "Hautérivien" refers to the geological period in which the soil was formed, which contributes to the light and fresh characteristics of the wine with a good minerality.

The grapes are harvested mechanically, and organic practices are used in the vineyard, including tillage and removal of excess shoots. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged on fine lees for six months, which contributes to the complexity and texture. After a light clarification, the wine is bottled after 12 months in tanks.

The Petit Chablis "Hautérivien" presents an attractive nose with aromas of ripe white fruit, combined with a rich and lush texture that reflects the terroir. The taste is both rich and creamy, with a refreshing acidity and a pronounced minerality that is typical of the Chablis region.

This wine is recommended as an aperitif and goes well with shellfish, fish dishes and light meat dishes. The ideal serving temperature is between 10 and 12°C.
