Domaine Jolly et Fils is a boutique, family-run estate in the heart of Chablis, where for four generations they have been quietly producing incredible expressions of the region's unique terroir. Located in the village of Maligny, just a few miles north of the famous Chablis village, proprietor Denis Jolly and his family are keenly focused on coaxing the best from the region's famed Kimmeridgian soils—a spectacular chalky dirt littered with tiny, ancient marine skeletons. Their vineyard holdings span 17 hectares in the Chablis appellation, where they meticulously manage their vines to produce wines that are a true reflection of place. The 2023 Domaine Jolly et Fils Chablis is a pure expression of 100% Chardonnay, crafted with a philosophy of letting the terroir shine. Grapes are mechanically harvested and then crushed in a pneumatic press. The musts are placed in a static settling tank before undergoing alcoholic fermentation for seven days in thermo-regulated, stainless-steel vats. Malolactic fermentation follows for 30 days, and the wine is aged on its lees for seven to eight months, a process that adds a subtle richness and complexity. Before bottling, the wine undergoes a cold tartaric stabilization. This meticulous approach in the cellar allows the unique character of the Kimmeridgian soils to be the defining voice of the wine. The 2023 Domaine Jolly et Fils Chablis is a beautiful pale yellow color tinged with green. The nose offers lovely citrus aromas that lead the way to fruit-forward flavors of fresh pear on the palate. It is a traditional, mineral-driven Chablis with a wonderful, rounded mouthfeel and a long finish. The wine's lively citrus character and clean minerality make it a classic representation of the Chablis terroir, celebrated for its unique mineral purity. This mineral-driven and citrus-forward Chablis is a classic pairing for a range of dishes. Its lively acidity and fresh fruit flavors make it an ideal companion for shellfish, oysters, grilled fish, and poultry. It also pairs beautifully with fresh goat cheese or as a sophisticated apéritif.

We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
