"A charming and superbly refined Chablis 1er Cru Vau-Ligneau!"
This 1er Cru from Domaine de la Motte is a wine of great subtlety. It offers a harmonious, airy, and perfectly balanced nose. With its refined character, the flinty aromas typical of its white clay terroir, and its superb length on the palate, the Vau-Ligneau is a wine with excellent aging potential, defined by one word: “elegance.”

About the estate:
Henri Michaut planted the first vines in 1947 and was a long-time member of La Chablisienne. Following in his footsteps, his family successfully launched their own winemaking business; today, under the leadership of Adrien Michaut, the estate (HVE-certified) covers more than 53 hectares and has established itself as a trusted name in the Chablis region.
