CHABLIS
VINTAGE 2023
BURGUNDY • FRANCE CHARDONNAY
"Pale gold and a heart of stone: a Chardonnay that translates the ancient seabed of Burgundy into an experience of electric, crystalline freshness."
The Purest Terroir in France
Chablis 2023 is a testament to geographical precision. Sourced from the northernmost viticultural region of Burgundy, France, this wine benefits from a cool climate that sculpts its vertical profile. The secret lies in its unique soil of calcareous marl and small fossilized oysters, which grant the wine that "gunflint" note and an elegant salinity that defines the prestige of its origin.
