Region: Chablis 

Variety: Chardonnay 

What's in the glass: This Premier Cru is rooted in the most northern climat on the left bank of the Serein River. Vallée du Roi (King’s Valley) or Bois du Roy (King’s Woods) or Beau Bois (Beautiful Woods) are among the numerous interpretations of its name. The most probable explanation is that the climat inherited the patronymic of a local family who had lived there, the Rouards.

On the nose bright aromas of lime zest, green apple, and pear, intertwined with wet slate, oyster shell, and mineral intensity. The palate is precise and elegantly textured, offering a core of juicy orchard fruit layered over a vibrant mineral backbone and subtle hints of dried honey and chalky river-stone.

Faming: Sustainable
