CHW Confidential
Winemaker Francis Boudin is one of Chablis’ true artisanal ranks. Making Chablis without any oak influence ("Barrel-free Chablis”) has been a mantra of the Boudin clan for at least three generations, guiding them to translate the purity of Chardonnay from the vineyard directly into the bottle. In keeping with their natural philosophy, the Boudins did not replant their Chardonnay vines with high-yielding clones, as was the fad in the 1970s in Chablis. As a result, their older vines are naturally low yielding, allowing fruit to better express its terroir.
This wine is grown from a blend of several estate-owned vineyards, planted to original rootstock near the village of La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, due west of premier cru ‘Fourchaume.’ Soils are chalky and stony, textbook Chablis terroir. Grapes are hand-harvested from 25-30 year old vines and pressed full cluster and fermented on indigenous yeasts. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
