Domaine Ternynck Chablis, 2023

Chardonnay 100%

This is not a multi-generational family run domaine, but rather a project driven by passion. Laurent Ternynck, the Winemaker is an accountant by trade, and taught himself everything he knows by working the land and making wine. He co-owns the Domaine with his wife Marie-Noëlle and is helped in the Vinification by Vivien. They are in their last year of Bio-Dynamic conversion and will be fully certified in 2023. S

Vinification – Harvested on the clay-limestone soils of the village of Chablis, this wine is 100% Chardonnay. The vinification is traditional: fermentation and malolactic in indigenous flora (yeast) regulated between 20 and 22°C, aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks on lees. Pumping is limited to protect the bacteria and yeast which produces a living wine which guarantees an authentic taste of the terroir

Yeast – Indigenous

pH – 3,25 R.S. 1,7g/L

Ageing -- It is hard to resist this wine, but it can and will evolve – so enjoy it now but if you so desire, you can cellar it for 8 years Tasting Notes Pale gold in color with green highlights, this Chablis has a powerful, iodine and fresh, floral and mineral nose characterized by notes of freshly ground almonds and hazelnuts, citrus fruit and white flowers. The palate is balanced, with a fleshy attack. The evolution and the finish are sharper, taking on an acidulous character. A finesse highlighted by a great freshness

Flavors of white peach sublimate the very present minerality. It can be enjoyed young with fish or poultry terrines as well as grilled or poached fish. It is a perfect accompaniment to oysters. It goes very well with certain cheeses such as goat's cheese, Beaufort, Comté and Emmental.
