Domaine de la Motte Chablis Vieilles Vignes is a complex, rich and full-flavoured Chablis made from grapes grown on old vines. With wonderful aromas of baked apple, the palate remains taught and fresh to the finish, with exceptional texture. An excellent, full-flavoured expression of Chablis which is a wonderful match for cheese, shellfish or Christmas dinner!

Domaine de la Motte is a 25 hectare, family-run winery handed down from father to son since 1950. Now under the stewardship of Bernard Michaut, an ex-chef, who works with his son Adrien. Their winemaking is meticulous and the wines are benchmarks for the region. They are fastidious about producing concentrated, mineral and very precise wines which reflect the particular terroirs of Chablis, with vines on both Portlandian and Kimmeridgian soils. Motte's wines are regularly chosen for the Tastevinage label, a rigorous selection by the Confrérie des Chevaliers de Tastevin of wines they regard as offering the best of the region in terms of quality and style.

Low yielding vines grow on north facing kimmeridgian and chalky clay soils surrounding the village of Beine. From here Bernard selects parcels from vines approaching a minimum age of 50 years for his Chabils Vieilles Vignes. Grapes are hand-harvested. After a short cold maceration and gentle pneumatic pressing, the wine is racked and fermented in stainless steel for 15 days at 21ºC. Around 15% is fermented in large (600l) oak barrels for 15 days and remains in oak for 8-12 months - the rest in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation last up to 5 weeks.
