Citrus forward and relentlessly energetic grapefruit, pomelo, yuzu, and orange cycling through in quick succession, with white peach underneath and a clean, stony finish. Marine Descombe fifth generation Beaujolais winemaker from the Famille Descombe dynasty founded in 1905 bought this small Chablis estate in 2017 from a retiring winemaker who had no heirs. She farms 30 hectares across 21 individual plots under HVE environmental certification: no herbicides, natural hedges, cover crops. The Petit Chablis specifically comes from younger Portlandian limestone soils, which push more fruit than minerality fermented in stainless steel, aged on fine lees, no oak. Clean, honest winemaking.
