Domain Gerard Duplessis Chablis Les Vaillons Premier Cru 2023

Originating from France, this wine hail from the esteemed Chablis region within the Premier Cru subregion of Les Vaillons. Lilian Duplessis currently oversees the domaine, which was established by his grandfather and further developed by his father, Gérard. The estate's winemaking philosophy focuses on organic cultivation and long aging periods of at least 18 months to ensure exceptional aging capacity and a true expression of the Kimmeridgian limestone terroir.

Wine Description

This Premier Cru presents a classic sensory profile with a pale lemon yellow colour and green reflections. The nose is aromatic and complex, offering bright citrus and nectarine fruits layered with notes of acacia, white flowers, and a distinct oyster shell minerality. On the palate, the wine is medium full bodied and energetic, displaying a silky texture and 'classic' brisk acidities that provide tension and a sharp, clear cut first impression.

Food Pairing

The wine's sharp acidity and mineral depth make it an excellent partner for smoked salmon, trout, or delicate freshwater fish. It also pairs beautifully with white meats in light sauces and creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
