"A charming and superbly refined Chablis 1er Cru Vau-Ligneau!
This 1er Cru from Domaine de la Motte is a wine of great subtlety. Its nose is harmonious, airy and perfectly balanced. Its fine, flinty aromas, typical of its white clay terroir, and its superb length on the palate, make Vau-Ligneau a wine for laying down, whose watchword is "elegance".

About the domain :
Henri Michaut planted the first vines in 1947 and was for many years a cooperator at La Chablisienne. Following in his footsteps, his family successfully embarked on winemaking; today managed by Adrien Michaut, the estate (HVE certified) covers more than 53 ha and has established itself as a sure bet in the Chablis region.
