July 14, 2023 - Domaine Alain Gautheron (Fleys (Chablis)): Established in 1938, The Chablis appellation represents 65% of the production of Chablis wines. The major base comes from the Jurassic, more precisely the Kimmeridgian (some 150 million years ago) and we find in the rock tiny oyster deposits that remind us of the warm and shallow sea that then covered this territory. These comma-shaped oysters are called Exogyra virgula.
More stuff going on than its Petit Chablis counterpart.
Again, very clean and mineral driven but with this tap water undertones (a bit of chlorine/iodine type notes). Slightly longer than the Petit Chablis from the same year.
2022 is another so-called solar year in this part of the world after a more classic vintage in 2021.289 views
