Crafted by Albert Bichot, a historic Burgundy house founded in 1831, the 2023 Petit-Chablis is a pure Chardonnay sourced from vineyards in the Chablis region, primarily on the Portlandian limestone soils that define the appellation’s fresh, mineral-driven style. The grapes are hand-harvested from select plots, pressed gently, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s purity and varietal character. No oak aging is employed, ensuring the vibrant fruit and signature minerality of Petit-Chablis shine through. This approach, combined with sustainable viticulture practices, highlights the unique terroir of the region’s chalky, fossil-rich soils, resulting in a wine that balances lively acidity with delicate fruit expression, emblematic of the 2023 vintage’s clarity and finesse.
Tasting Notes
This Petit-Chablis displays a pale straw hue with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers, accented by hints of wet stone and subtle saline notes. On the palate, it is light-bodied and refreshing, offering flavors of citrus, crisp pear, and chalky minerality, supported by bright acidity and a clean, focused finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2023 Albert Bichot Petit-Chablis earned 90 points from James Suckling, who praised its crisp, bright, and clean profile with attractive lemon and green apple notes and a hint of flintiness.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 10-12°C after brief chilling to enhance its aromatic vibrancy. Enjoy now for its fresh, lively character or cellar until 2028 to develop subtle honeyed and mineral complexities. An exemplary introduction to the purity of Chablis whites.
