Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from "La Grande Chaume," a distinct lieu-dit within the steep, left-bank Premier Cru of Vau de Vey, near the village of Beine.
  • The vines are planted on dramatic slopes (up to 50% gradient) over classic Kimmeridgian limestone and clay marl, requiring meticulous manual farming and yielding intense, mineral-driven fruit.
  • Grapes are hand-harvested and gently whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation proceeds spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, emphasizing terroir transparency.
  • Élevage takes place on the fine lees primarily in stainless steel tanks (inox) with minimal intervention, avoiding new oak to preserve the site's laser-like precision. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
  • The 2023 vintage offered excellent ripeness alongside Chablis' hallmark acidity, perfectly complementing Vau de Vey's cool, eastern exposure to create a wine of striking balance and energy.

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Vau de Vey "La Grande Chaume" pours a luminous, pale yellow-gold with a silvery rim. The nose is incredibly focused and tightly wound, offering sharp, crystalline aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white peach, and a profound, chalky oyster-shell minerality. On the palate, the wine is electric and linear. Zippy, laser-like acidity drives a core of vibrant orchard fruit, leading to a long, mouth-watering, and distinctly saline finish that practically buzzes with energy.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 50–54°F (10–12°C) in a standard white wine glass to emphasize its precision and mineral focus.
  • Decanting: A brief 30-minute aeration helps open the tightly wound aromatics. An exceptional pairing for fresh oysters, scallop carpaccio, or sole meunière. Built to evolve, drink 2026–2035+.
