Domaine Gautheron Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022

Alcohol : 13% Grape(s) : Chardonnay  Localisation : Chablis, Burgundy, France Tasting Notes : When it comes to typicity, depth, and texture, Gautheron’s “Vieilles Vignes” Chablis far surpasses the expectations of its village-level appellation and waltzes straight into Premier Cru territory. As such, you shouldn’t be surprised if and when this outperforms some of your friend’s Premier Cru bottlings (although they certainly will be!). In the glass, this spills out a vivid straw-yellow with neon green and silver reflections throughout. After about 15 minutes of air, gorgeous, high-toned aromas of salted yellow apple, lush white peach, apricot, and green apple peel pour out, followed lockstep by lemon and lime blossoms, finely crushed chalk, oyster shell, lees, a bouquet of wildflowers, and a faint hint of vanilla. All of these captivating notes carry over to an energized palate filled with the Chablisienne trademarks of precision, piquancy, and invigorating refreshment. Food Pairing: Drin
