About the Domaine de Mauperthuis Chablis Goutte de Lune 2018...
This old vines Chardonnay saw 12 months in foudres, on the lees, with fruit gathered from vineyards in Fleys. The cool spot comes with a higher altitude, on a windswept plateau and so harvest is generally five to six days later.
And so their Chablis is cool, direct, taut and sapid stuff, as Chablis will go, from such a climat and handled so. Acidity runs rampant and travels quickly up and down and into parts of the mouth that stand up to take notice. Sharp and focused Chablis. On the nose it has beautiful zesty, creamy and mineral notes.
Keep it chilled in the fridge, uncork it at the end of the day, pour yourself a glass and enjoy it! Pair it with oysters, all kinds of fish dishes, and even roasted chickens. It's a coup-de-coeur!

About the Domaine de Mauperthuis Sauvignon Blanc, AOC Saint Bris 2018...
​This is by far one of the coolest Sauvignon Blanc wines we have ever tasted. This white wine is made next door to Auxerre, in the region of Chablis. It's kind of a unicorn wine: in Burgundy, Chardonnay and Aligoté are the only white varieties allowed to be grown. However, there are some exceptions, and Saint-Bris is one of them!
This white Burgundy is made from the Sauvignon grape. It has a pale straw or light gold color. On the nose, it has aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit, mandarin orange), peach, and crushed blackcurrant leaves with sometimes exotic scents (lychee). This complexity introduces a fruit which is full, flowery and tender, with a hint of salt and spice in the finish. Jammy and preserved-fruit aromas will appear as the wine ages. This is a wine that can be either enjoyed young or after having aged a few years.
This wine calls for oysters and all kinds of fish! It's also a wonderful choice with herb-driven sauces over chicken and fish dishes. We also love pairing it with Vietnamese and Thai meals with tons of lemon-grass, and fresh cheeses such as feta or goat cheese.
