Domaine Jean Claude Courtault is a family-run winery located in the Chablis appellation in the Burgundy region of France. The winery is known for producing high-quality Chardonnay-based wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. One of the defining characteristics of Chablis wines is their minerality, which is derived from the unique soil composition of the region. The soils in Chablis are composed of a mixture of limestone and clay, which gives the wines their distinct mineral notes. The Blanchot vineyard is one of the seven Grand Cru vineyards in the Chablis appellation and is known for producing some of the finest wines in the region. The soils in Blanchot are composed of Kimmeridgian limestone and marl, which gives the wine its distinct minerality and complexity.
The wine has a pale gold color with green highlights and aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of lemon, green apple, and a touch of honey. The wine has a long and complex finish with a mineral-driven aftertaste.
