The richest of the 1ers!

Description

Richer and more out to play there’s plenty of fruit drive here. Honeyed, a little nutty with maple at play, crème patissere. Generosity from this warmer site is tempered by a line of acid. That long ferment mid-palate with a little baking spice, pop of cracked yeast. Long.

Why is this Wine so Yummy?

A richer wine, with elegant white stone fruit, marzipan and perfumed honeysuckle contributing to complexity on the nose. Ripe stone and orchard fruit and river stone notes are complemented by a soft, textural palate and balanced by lazer-like acidity and slight phenolic grip. The finish is long with lingering peach. This is a wine that will really come out to play with sufficient time in the glass.

About Domaine Thierry Laffay

Established in 1978, this small high-quality under-the-radar Domaine has been managed by Thierry Laffay since 1985. Laffay farms 7 hectares of vineyards over seven excellent appellations.

We don’t have lot of info about Thierry, what we do have is a row of glasses full of tasty vino! That’s what we’re sticking with!

Laffay’s wines are steeped in the typicity of the terroir thanks to simplicity and limited handling. The Laffay wines display the taut, rocky and steely Chablis classism of yesteryear, not dissimilar to the wines of Vincent Dauvissat who I have been visiting annually since 1995

In the Vineyard

They are mostly organic citing that their viticultural practices are those of reasoned cultivation, lutte raisonnée, being scrupulously applied avoiding systematic treatments and intervening only in the event of a major disease risk. Vine age averages between 40 and
50 years, grapes are harvested by hand.

In the Winery

Indiginous yeasts commence fermentations; the wines are aged for a minimum of 9 months in stainless steel or enameled steel vats (3 small vats). After the alcoholic fermentation, the wines remain on the lees and resume malolactic fermentation the following spring.
