2021 Georges Deschamps Chablis

WINEMAKER: Guillaume Vrignaud
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic

Gently harvested and whole bunch pressed into stainless steel for a long, natural fermentation. On lees for about 12 months. Lightly fined with bentonite and filtered with very low SO2 additions prior to bottling. There’s a little mealiness to it, from lees work, gussied by green apples, custard apple, pear, but all that fruit is framed by a pomelo like bitterness and acidity. Much leaner than the Petit Chablis, but still with drive. Wonderful.

Georges Deschamps, Guillaume's great-grandfather, first planted vines in 1er Cru Fourchaume in 1955. Guillaume believes organic farming is a way of thinking, a true expression of terroir, with a deep respect for nature and biodiversity. Certified organic since 2012.
