Alain Geoffrey - Chablis - Premier Cru - 2020

$32.00

Alain Geoffroy farms out of Beine, just west of the town of Chablis, and this Premier Cru comes off vines thirty to forty-five years old planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with south-facing exposure. No oak touches it. Geoffroy ferments and ages the wine entirely in temperature-controlled tanks so the chalk and the fruit stay front and center. Light gold in the glass, full and round on the palate, with real cellaring potential if you want to tuck a bottle away. Classic, chalky Chablis for people who want oysters done right.

Light gold with green glints. Floral nose with orchard fruit. Full, round palate balancing richness with chalky freshness. Long finish, mouthfilling and bright.

Creuse oysters, langoustines with sea urchin cream, poached turbot in hollandaise. Straight from the Geoffroy family's own pairing list.

Domaine Alain Geoffroy is based in Beine, a few miles from Chablis proper. Premier Cru vines run thirty to forty-five years old on Kimmeridgian limestone with south exposure, the fossil-rich soil that defines serious Chablis. Traditional, tank-only winemaking start to finish. The estate bottles several named Premier Crus; confirm which climat is on the shelf.
