This Chablis 'Vieilles Vignes' from Domaine de Chantemerle is built on purity, precision, and the expressive power of Chardonnay. Crafted with minimal intervention—100% concrete aging, no oak—the focus is on clarity, minerality, and the authentic expression of terroir. The wine shows a pale straw colour with green reflections and opens with aromas of lime, green apple, wet stone, and a delicate touch of sea spray. On the palate, it is mouth-filling yet refined, balancing concentrated citrus and orchard fruit with brisk acidity, finishing long with a stony mineral streak and a hint of dried honey.

Domaine de Chantemerle, run by the Boudin family for several generations, has built a reputation for crafting classic Chablis that highlights the influence of Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Their approach avoids oak in favour of purity, creating wines that are faithful to both tradition and place.
