Description:
The story of the Descombe family as a wine producer began over a hundred years ago in 1905, when François Descombe was the mayor of the village of Saint Etienne des Oullières near Mont Brouilly. With Marine, the fifth generation representative, the vineyards have been expanded, and today the family has production not only in Beaujolais, but also in Chablis and Northern Rhône. The fruit is planted on stony, clay-limestone soil, rich in Kimmeridgian. A harsh continental climate with a dry and hot July. Located in the Yonne department, the Chablis vineyard runs along a small river, the Serein. Domaine Passy le Clou, owned by the Descombe family, now has 21 plots scattered throughout the Chablis region, each vinified independently to capture the terroir's unique character.

Tasting Note:
Golden yellow. An expressive, floral nose with a hint of white fruits (apple, pear), with mineral & tangy notes on the palate. It ends with elegant structure.
