Description
2023 Chablis 1er Cru
by Domaine Raoul Gautherin et Fils is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, sourced from premier cru vineyards rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils. It unfurls with striking precision and finesse, offering a bouquet of crisp green apple, white peach, crushed oyster shell, and a delicate touch of hawthorn blossom. On the palate, it glides with silken texture and radiant acidity, unveiling layers of citrus zest, saline minerality, and hints of almond skin, all framed by a refined, chalky tension. Aged in stainless steel to preserve its purity and terroir expression, this wine will benefit from 3 to 7 years of aging. Perfect alongside fresh oysters, poached halibut, or goat cheese tartlets. Domaine Raoul Gautherin et Fils, a family-run estate in Chablis since the 16th century, is revered for its traditional approach and unyielding commitment to expressing the region’s stony, maritime soul through precise, mineral-driven wines.
