ABOUT THIS WINE
Union des Viticulteurs de Chablis (UVC) is a historic brand crafted by the renowned cooperative La Chablisienne, located in the heart of Burgundy, France. Established in 1947 through the merger of two local cooperative cellars, UVC represents the collective efforts of approximately 300 passionate local winegrowers. La Chablisienne, celebrated as the 2024 IWSC White Wine Producer of the Year, utilizes this brand to deliver authentic, terroir-driven Chablis to a broader audience. The grapes are sourced from carefully managed parcels situated on the region's famous Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, which are rich in fossilized marine shells. This unique geological foundation defines the classic character of the appellation, making this wine a benchmark representation of cool-climate Chardonnay.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chablis is designed to preserve the pure, site-specific mineral character of the Chardonnay grape without any oak influence. Following an early harvest, the must undergoes static cold settling (débourbage statique à froid) to ensure clarity and purity. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is then aged on its fine lees (sur lies fines) in stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 to 10 months before bottling, enhancing its texture and complexity while maintaining its vibrant, crisp profile.
