In 1923, a number of growers in Chablis banded together to create a cooperative winery, hoping to withstand the financial difficulties of the time. However, come the 1950s, the winemakers at La Chablisienne wanted more control over the end product they were presenting to the world, so instead of wine being delivered by local growers, the must arrived at the wine house. This resulted in constant communication between the growers and winemakers, ensuring the best possible wines are produced. In typical Chablis style, the Chablisienne wines have the characteristic minerality from the predominantly Kimmeridgian terroir, with marls and deposits of small oyster shells thrown in too. Pale-yellow colour, the wine is crystal clear and brilliant. On the nose, aromas of ripe white fruits with hints of peach. The freshness and complexity becomes even more intense after some time in the glass.
