Chablis 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Chablis is located in the northern part of Burgundy, halfway between Dijon and Paris. The continental climate brings very cold temperatures in winter followed by spring frosts and hot summers. These conditions and the marly limestone soils combine to mold the unique character of Chablis wines. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, then gently pressed and fermented without artificial temperature control. This Chablis is aged in stainless steel tanks to keep the unique terroir expression and minerality. Fining and filtration is light. The goal is always to retain the wine’s complexity and structure.
Harvest Note
In early May, temperatures began to rise and by early June, flowering began, slightly earlier than average. Conditions were nearly perfect during flowering which resulted in a large crop set. Some drought conditions occurred in July, but despite the limited rainfall, the grapes were still able to ripen properly with high volumes. Harvest began in early September, where warm weather and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach optimum ripeness.
Tasting Note
Bright, crisp & concentrated with citrus and stony nuances, elegant dry finish with subtle complexity.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
