Reine de Tour Chablis Lucien Deschaux 1989
The Reine de Tour Chablis 1989 is a French white wine produced by Lucien Deschaux under the Appellation Chablis Contrôlée. This wine is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, one of the world's most recognized green grapes, which is widely planted across prominent wine regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, California, and Oregon.
Chablis is situated in the northernmost part of Burgundy, a historic region in eastern France originally shaped by medieval monks who mapped its countless terroirs. Although Chablis lies significantly further north than the famous Côte d'Or, the small town gives its name to this renowned viticultural area. The local environment is characterized by a cool climate and distinct soils composed of limestone and Kimmeridgian clay, providing the foundation for a pure expression of the Chardonnay grape. The 1989 vintage from this area is described as full-bodied, warm, and well-balanced, earning a score of 94 points.
Burgundy as a whole has elevated the concept of terroir to an art form through its intricate system of climats. Cultivating almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the region relies on its limestone-rich soils, stretching from Chablis in the north down to the Mâconnais in the south, to produce some of the most sought-after wines globally. This specific bottling by Lucien Deschaux contains 12.5% alcohol by volume and represents the classic traditions of the Chablis appellation.
