Product Description

Francine Bachelier and her husband, Olivier Savary,
own a small, highly-regarded estate in Maligny, which
lies at the northern edge of the slope of the Grand Cru
Chablis  vineyards.  Olivier  markets  his  wines  as
Domaine  Savary  while  Francine  makes  limited
selections in the cellar for the wines of her own label.
While they own vines in two Premier Crus, the great
“Fourchaume” and the “Vaillons,” the specialty here is
top-quality Chablis Village. Bachelier Chablis Village
is a traditional, un-oaked Chablis that aptly reflects the
classic style of the Chablis appellation and the chalky
terroir  of  Maligny.  This  means  a  glass  of  bright,
shimmering  green-gold  wine  that  offers  an  ethereal
fragrance, a mouthful of racy, flinty flavors, and a long, mineral finish. Petit Chablis comes from vines
planted on the top of slopes in hard, Portlandian limestone soil. This is different from the chalk and clay
Kimmeridgian limestone soil that makes up the Chablis appellation.
