Highlights
- 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Charmoy lieu-dit, a distinct clay-limestone parcel situated in the village of Beine.
- Planted in the 1950s, these mature Vieilles Vignes (old vines) rest on Portlandian soils rather than Kimmeridgian, yielding a wine with a distinctly rounder, fruit-forward profile while maintaining classic Chablis minerality.
- Farmed organically with meticulous attention to detail by Jérémy Arnaud, a winemaker quickly achieving cult status for his terroir-transparent approach.
- Vinification is strictly low-intervention: spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts and subjected to a patient, extended élevage utilizing a touch of older oak to enhance texture without masking the fruit.
- The 2023 vintage offers beautiful fruit ripeness, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur, presenting a rich, structured, and saline expression of the terroir.
Tasting Notes
Pours a brilliant, pale golden-yellow. The nose is inviting and slightly richer than typical village Chablis, offering aromas of luscious pear, ripe Meyer lemon, and fresh melon, beautifully nuanced by a delicate almond note and wet stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, round, and impeccably balanced. The gentle barrel élevage provides a textural depth that perfectly offsets the chalky tension, culminating in a long, precise, and distinctly saline finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) in standard white Burgundy glasses to enhance its richer aromatics and mineral edge.
- Decanting: Minimal aeration needed; simply open 30 minutes before serving. Pairs wonderfully with roast poultry, grilled sea bass, or a rich crab risotto. Drink now through 2030.
