Domaine de L'Enclos Description
The Bouchard family maintains some 70 acres of vineyard land in the “heart” of Chablis, the entirety of which began its organic conversion in 2015; the estate was officially certified in 2018. Holdings include some four acres of grand cru vineyards, and around 20 acres of premier cru land; with the rest in general Chablis and Petit Chablis.
The brothers at the beginning of their project built a new cellar space underneath the family home, which originally was a 19th century abbey. This modern cellar allows wine to be moved gently by gravity. All grapes (at all levels) are harvested by hand, and sorted both in the fields and in the cellar. Fermentation happens on indigenous yeasts, in either temperature-controlled tank or French oak barrel.
A classic premier cru ‘Montmains’ with older vines located not far from the border with premier cru ‘Fôret.’ Great structure, notes of sea salt and smoke, thrilling length.
Tasting Note: Aromas of preserved lemon, ripe pear, notes of oyster shells and smoke. Medium-bodied, structured; good for the cellar
Wine Pairing: Grilled fish and herbs; roasted chicken; white meat; moderately aged cow or goat cheeses
