CHABLIS 2023

Production area

The grapes for this village appellation were harvested within the delimited areas of 17 villages including the village of Chablis. This appellation covers a surface area of 3 367,28 hectares, making it Burgundy’s largest AOC. Our Chablis comes from the marly terroirs of Courgis to the south of Chablis.

Origins

Chablis' vineyards are completely set apart from the rest of Burgundy, giving them characteristics that are utterly distinctive. The unique terroir made of exogyrious marls originates from the Kimmeridgian era: it’s made of small oysters [exogyra virgula] that lived there when the sea covered the area and fossilized when the sea withdrew. It gives the wines their minerality and sharpness.

Varietal

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

COLOR: Pale gold with green highlights.
NOSE: Fresh, lively and mineral, the nose opens with aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus, white flowers, butter and spices.
PALATE: The wine is of perfect finesse, with a unique and easily recognizable personality.

Vinification and maturing

Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks. For this wine, we put the stress on having a fast malolactic fermentation in order to keep the freshness of the wine and ensure the purest aromas. Complexity was brought by a little part of the wine aged in oak barrels.

Food and wine pairing

Perfect with oysters, fish, poultry, some types of exotic cuisine (japanese, indian) and goat cheeses.

Serving suggestions

10 to 12°C

Ageing potential

Generally speaking, it is preferable to drink Chablis wines in their youth so as to best appreciate their distinctive freshness, but they may be aged for 3 to 4 years.

Vintage : 2023

The 2023 vintage has been disrupted by a capricious wather all along the year. Despite a warm winter, an unstable spring, and a summer marked by heat pics, cool weather and stormy showers, this vintage offered Burgundy an abundant and gourmet harvest as well as fruity and expressive wines.
