2023 Joëlle Vrignaud Chablis

Joëlle Vrignaud presents, with this wine, the domaine’s pure expression of the appellation itself. It offers the essential language of Chablis: Chardonnay grown on cool northern Burgundy soils, shaped by acidity, citrus, white flowers and a precise mineral line.

The vines average 30 years of age and grow on chalky clay soils, giving the wine its balance between fruit, freshness and savoury mineral detail. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by full malolactic fermentation and ageing on lees in stainless steel tanks. This keeps the profile clean and transparent while adding enough texture to soften the natural tension of Chardonnay in this terroir.

In the glass, it shows a pale yellow colour with lime reflections. The nose is fresh and precise, with lemon, green apple, white flowers, grapefruit peel and a light chalky note. On the palate, it is dry, bright and balanced, with citrus-driven acidity, gentle orchard fruit and a clean mineral finish.

A classic village Chablis: pure and crisp, with enough freshness for immediate drinking and enough structure to develop over the next few years.

A natural match with oysters, and anything seafood.
