Tasting Note:
The 2022 Côte aux Prêtres is a vivid and mineral-driven expression of Chablis, crafted from one of the estate’s steepest and most limestone-rich sites. The nose opens with citrus blossom, green apple, and lemon zest alongside crushed oyster shell and chalk. The palate is taut and focused, delivering flavors of pear, white peach, and citrus peel framed by racy acidity and a fine, saline edge. Textural depth from lees aging adds weight without diminishing purity. The finish is long and precise, marked by stony minerality and vibrant citrus energy. A Chablis of intensity and finesse with strong aging potential.
