Ternynck Chablis 2022

Chablis, Burgundy, France Domaine Ternynck Chablis is a beautiful white wine gem from this world-renowned appellation in Burgundy, showing off the natural beauty of the Chardonnay grape. This is not a multi-generational family run domaine, but rather a project driven by passion. Laurent Ternynck, the winemaker is an accountant by trade, and taught himself everything he knows by working the land and making wine. He co-owns the Domaine with his wife Marie-Noëlle and is helped in the vinification by Vivien. They are in their last year of Bio-Dynamic conversion and will be fully certified in 2023. Harvested from 30-year-old vines on the Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils of the village of Chablis, this wine is 100% Chardonnay. The vinification is traditional: fermentation and malolactic in indigenous flora (yeast) regulated between 20 and 22°C, aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks on lees. It is hard to resist this wine, but it can and will evolve – so enjoy it now but if you so desire, you can cellar it for 8 years. Pale gold in color with green highlights, this Chablis has a powerful, iodine and fresh, floral and mineral nose characterized by notes of freshly ground almonds and hazelnuts, citrus fruit and white flowers. The palate is balanced, with a fleshy attack. Flavors of white peach sublimate the very present minerality. It offers a beautiful long finish. Enjoy Ternynck Chablis with steamers, grilled sausages, roast chicken, grilled halibut, lobster salad and cheeses—chèvre, Beaufort, Comté and Emmental.
