"A charming and superbly refined Chablis Premier Cru Vau-Ligneau!"

This Premier Cru from Domaine de la Motte is a wine of great subtlety. It has a harmonious, airy, and perfectly balanced nose. With its finesse, flinty aromas typical of its white clay terroir, and superb length on the palate, Vau-Ligneau is a wine with excellent aging potential, whose watchword is "elegance."
