Gautheron Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2023

The 2023 Gautheron Chablis Vieilles Vignes comes from the oldest parcels of Domaine Gautheron, located in Fleys, in the heart of the Chablis appellation. Made from 100% Chardonnay, grown on Kimméridgian soils rich in marine fossils, it is a wine that combines freshness and elegance with the depth afforded by the old vines.

It displays a bright straw yellow color with golden highlights. On the nose, it releases an intense and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe citrus, peach, white flowers, aromatic herbs, and a pronounced minerality. On the palate, it is structured and balanced, with a nice acidic tension and a long, persistent finish, enriched by savory nuances typical of the Chablis terroir.

A white wine with character, capable of evolving over the years, ideal with raw fish, shellfish, molluscs, sushi, delicate white meats, and soft cheeses. Served at 10–12°C in large Chardonnay glasses, it best expresses the complexity of its origins.
