Domaine Alain Geoffroy Chablis Vielles Vignes 2021

A sophisticated departure from the lean, stainless-steel norm, the Chablis Vielles Vignes "Élevée en Fûts de Chêne" 2021 is a masterclass in balanced opulence. While Chablis is famed for its bracing, flinty mineral profile, this cuvée is uniquely fermented and aged in French oak. This traditional "fûts de chêne" approach softens the Chardonnay’s sharp edges, imbuing the wine with a silken texture and a complex aromatic depth that honors the Geoffroy family’s legacy.

Sourced from 45-year-old vines, the 2021 vintage reveals a beautiful interplay between classic Kimmeridgian limestone and subtle notes of toasted brioche, vanilla bean, and hazelnut. On the palate, layers of ripe lemon curd and golden apple are elevated by a delicate smoky undertone and a persistent, saline-driven freshness.
