Before release, the wine undergoes cold tartaric stabilization. by Bruce Leave a Comment Are you looking for a refreshing wine to enjoy during hot summers Petit Chablis is a great choice. Malolactic fermentation follows for 30 days and the wine is aged on its lees for 7 to 8 months. Grapes are hand-harvested and are pressed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation for a period of 7 days in stainless steel vats.
Deposits of miniscule oysters are found in the rock, typical to the limestone soils found in the region. The vines grow on Kimmeridgian clay soils. Chardonnay is the only varietal grown on the estate which produces wines from three vineyard appellations: Petit Chablis consists of 11 acres with an average vine age of 3 to 30 years, Chablis consists of 33 acres with an average vine age of 3 to 60 years, and Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume consists of 1.5 acres with an average vine age of 40 years old. Domaine Jolly consists of 42 acres of Petit Chablis, Chablis and Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume. The winery is managed by Denis Jolly, whose main focus is creating wines that are a true expression of the Kimmeridgean & Portlandian terroirs. The Domaine is located in Maligny, just a few miles north of Burgundy’s famous Chablis village. With four generations of experience, Domaine Jolly is known for producing traditional, mineral-driven Chablis wines.
