On what terroir is Les Vaudevey - Demeter Julien Brocard Chablis 1er Cru AOP 2023 produced?

The Vaudevey climat is one of the premier cru lieux-dits in the Chablis appellation. It rests on Kimmeridgian limestone marl rich in oyster fossils, characteristic of the region and responsible for the minerality sought in Chablis wines. The cool continental climate of the Yonne, tempered by the proximity of the Serein River, promotes a slow maturation of Chardonnay, the appellation's sole grape variety.

At what temperature should Les Vaudevey - Demeter Julien Brocard Chablis 1er Cru AOP 2023 be served?

Chablis Premier Cru wines are generally served between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius, in a glass wide enough to reveal their mineral character. Their aging potential usually extends from five to ten years after harvest, a period that allows the wines to gain complexity while retaining the tension characteristic of the appellation.

What dishes pair with Les Vaudevey - Demeter Julien Brocard Chablis 1er Cru AOP 2023?
