William Fèvre : Chablis 1er cru "Beauroy" Domaine 2022

Showing a distinct green tinge in the glass. Plenty of purity and finesse, but not as dramatic as some premier crus. Missing a bit of complexity at the moment, although this will evolve with more time in bottle. Didier Séguier emphasised the need to pick early to preserve freshness. 20% matured in old barrels after malolactic fermentation.

The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy delivers notes of peach, orange oil and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's saline and fine-boned. This is a pretty, elegantly exotic Chablis that will offer a broad drinking window.
