Intensity
A mineral, saline Chablis revealing lemon, green apple and flintstone, lifted by a vibrant texture and a lively finish.
More infoLe Bas de Chapelot is a Chablis Village drawn from a locality situated just below the Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre. It offers a clean, precise and mineral expression of Chablis Chardonnay, shaped by freshness, salinity and the region’s hallmark mineral tension. The vines grow on classic Kimmeridgian soils with fairly deep layers of clay and limestone. After manual harvests, the wine is vinified using traditional methods. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel vats with native yeasts. The wine is then aged on the lees for two months before bottling, without heavy fining and with minimal filtration.
In the glass, its pale yellow hue shows green highlights. The expressive nose reveals lemon, green apple, white blossoms and crushed stone. On the palate, a clean attack is carried by lively acidity and a firm mineral backbone, leading into a taut, persistent finish marked by citrus fruit.

About the Producer Vocoret & Fils
The Vocoret family is virtually impossible to miss when exploring the vineyards of Chablis. For four generations, each of the family’s winegrowers was born in the heart of the old and emblematic village of Chablis. Edouard Vocoret founded the domain in 1870. The domain has always cultivated its vines with great respect for the environment and the terroir, to ensure the natural expression of each of its characteristics. After relocating, the domain was run by Robert Vocoret and his wife Yvonne. Together, they continually expanded the family business by acquiring new parcels. After the reins were passed on to their two sons, Michel and Claude, the domain continued to prosper and relocated in Chablis once again. Today, with around forty hectares, the vineyard is admirably tended by Jérôme and Patrice, Michel and Claude’s respective sons. The cutting edge winery and sumptuous cellars ensure intense cuvées that capture the full aromatic range of the Chablis terroirs.
