OUDIN
Nathalie & Isabelle Oudin
Natalie is progressively imposing her own style. She is transitioning to ambient yeasts and employing organic methods when Chablis's inhospitable climate permits it. Long élevage on the lees in stainless steel followed by light filtration and fining if needed are the rudiments of her approach in the cuverie. The results are excellent: pure, concentrated and articulate expressions of their terroirs. For example, the Vaucoupin vines are located on one of the best sites of the 1er Crus, a steep southerly facing slope in fragmented Kimmeridgian limestone. Grapes come from 50yo vines, and the wine has a gunflint quality on the nose, then ripe citrus fruits with a marked salty, chalky flavour on the palate.
