Domaine Pinson Les Clos Grand Cru 2019

Located in the heart of the town of Chablis, with a very rich history dating back to 1540, Domaine Pinson was among the first winemakers in Chablis to bottle their wines for public sale in 1880 when they also exported their first wine to America. The ‘Frères’ in the name are brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson. The Domaine today is run by Charlène and her father Laurent Pinson. Charlène started making the wine here in 2008 after finishing a degree in viticulture and winemaking in Beaune and then gaining plenty of experience working in the Rhône Valley.

With only 2 barrels made this wine is quite special. Looking at an approach more like that of a fine white Burgundy with 100% new oak fermentation followed by 24 months of aging in 4-5-year-old barrels. This is a wine that will become softer over time when the wood integrates and the fruit shines through.
