Domaine Ventoura, 2020 Petit Chablis

Dry and lean with lip-smacking mineral refreshment. Light and lively with well-balanced acidity. White flower and citrus aromas characterize this straightforward, super fresh Petit Chablis. Lemon, grapefruit and tart apple fruit flavors on this elegant, and expressive value. Textbook Chablis - harmonious, sunny and mineral driven. Chablis is the northernmost wine district of the Burgundy and is in fact closer to the Aube in southern Champagne than to rest of Burgundy.

Domaine Ventoura is a family owned estate in Fontenay with 11 hectares of Petit Chablis, Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru vineyards. The domain was founded in 1953 by Auguste Ventoura, a simple farmer who owned a few sheep, a couple cows, and some land he planted to cereal fields and vines. The winery passed to Claude Ventoura, Auguste’s son, who expanded the family holdings and began bottling estate wines (for 25 years the fruit was sold to the local coop). Today, the third generation - Thomas - has assumed the reins, already making a name for himself at age 29 as an up and comer in the region.
