The estate and the wine
Wine Made from meticulously selected grapes, the 2023 Chablis Les Chanoines White opens with delicate, shell-like aromas and a refined mineral character. On the palate, it’s taut, sharply defined, and beautifully traditional—its lack of oak aging allows the pure minerality to shine through. This is a textbook Chablis, perfect for learning to appreciate the style, and an ideal match for seafood, grilled fish, or goat cheese. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.
