Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Cuvée Authentique Pinson Frères (Domaine) 2020

The wine

For this cuvée the grapes also come from the Grand Cru Les Clos parcel but with 100% new wood to begin with and 24 months in old wood for further refinement. When it is young you can smell the wood – at this point it is quite rugged, but this is a wine to enjoy in the future. It is the long-lasting élevage, undertaken without rushing, which brings this longevity. After two winters in barrels, the wine acquires a certain maturity.

About the Producer Pinson Frères

This domaine, which belonged to the Pinson family and whose origins go back to 1640, is now run by the two brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson, and Charlène (Laurent's daughter) who joined them in 2008. Major works were undertaken in 2004, including the construction of a new fermentation cell, the expansion of the storage buildings and the installation of a new pressing room. The vineyard extends over 12 hectares and uses one tenth of the "Les Clos" climat, the average age of the vines is 35 years old, the harvest is manual and the grapes harvested first ferment in vats and then in barrels.
