Particularly for the Boudin family, this means Chablis without any oak influence. \u201cBarrel-free Chablis\u201d has been a mantra of the Boudin clan for at least three generations\u2014a curious story that started as an intergenerational spat but turned into a savvy winemaking philosophy.<\/p>\n

Grandpa Boudin was a cooper. His son Adhemar hated everything about the business: the noise, the smells and the mess. So much so that when he started making Chablis from the family\u2019s vines, Adhemar refused to use barrels, choosing instead to use cement or stainless steel tanks.<\/p>\n

Today Adhemar\u2019s son, Francis, holds fast to the family\u2019s \u201cno-barrel\u201d philosophy, as his overriding passion is to translate the purity of Chardonnay from the vineyard directly into the bottle. And he succeeds\u2014Boudin Chablis is striking in its citrus-inspired flavors, its pure aromas and its mouth-watering, tangy finish.

In keeping with their natural philosophy, the Boudins did not replant their Chardonnay vines with high-yielding clones, as was the fad in the 1970s in Chablis. As a result, their older vines are naturally low yielding, allowing fruit to better express its terroir.<\/p>\n

Grapes are pressed full-cluster directly after harvest; juice is fermented on indigenous yeasts and aged in either cement (lined) or stainless steel tanks. North Berkeley selections are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
