VINTAGE 2023
BURGUNDY • FRANCE • CHARDONNAY
"Pale gold and a heart of stone: a Chardonnay that translates Burgundy's ancient seabed into an experience of electric and crystalline freshness."
The Purest Terroir in France
Chablis 2023 is a testament to geographical precision. Hailing from the northernmost wine 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 marls and small fossilized oysters, which impart the wine with that "flint stone" note and an elegant salinity that defines the prestige of its origin.
