Domaine Raoul Gautherin & Fils Chablis 2023

The Domaine Raoul Gautherin & Fils Chablis 2023 is an elegant, sophisticated, and deeply complex Old World white wine that beautifully translates its unique Kimmeridgian limestone terroir into a crystalline expression. It pours a brilliant pale gold colour with striking greenish highlights, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of crunchy green apples, fresh lemon blossom, and grapefruit zest, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of oyster shell, damp chalk, and wild white honey. On the palate, this medium-bodied Chardonnay is remarkably sharp, focused, and precise, coating the mouth with pure intensities of white peach, citrus rind, and a chiseled mineral edge that reflects the classic purity of the 2023 vintage. Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to protect its natural sophisication and energy, it is driven by a vibrant, food-friendly acidity and a super-sleek texture that carries into an exceptionally long, persistent, and saline finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with fresh or refined seafood options, including freshly shucked oysters, pan-seared sea scallops, grilled white fish, fresh goat cheese salads, escargot, and delicate pasta dishes with light lemon-herb sauces.
