Simmonet Febvre's Petit Chablis was born in vineyards located in the heart of the prestigious French region of Chablis, in Burgundy. It is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, carefully picked and selected by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-19 ° C. Subsequently the wine ages for 6-8 months on its lees, before being bottled.
The 2012 is quite pale at the present time, with brilliant green highlights. The nose is well-defined and mineral. Still very young and quite elegant, this wine has yet to reveal its full complexity. However, its class already comes through in the mineral and floral aromas released when the wine is swirled in the glass.
Grapes taken from the best parcels, carefully selected; manual harvest in 15 kg boxes, with cooling of grapes and extraction of the must with a very soft whole grape pressing; fermentation in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels, followed by a rest period of 8 months. At the end of the 8 months rest, during the blend preparation, only a small part of the wine is used, after a second selection of the best barrels or vats which will then compose the final blend.

Boxler is widely considered one of the top producers in Alsace, although this small, meticulously run estate is often overshadowed by its larger, more famous neighbors (Trimbach, Humbrecht etc.). But that suits current winemaker/proprietor Jean Boxler just fine.
