Domaine George Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2023
1. Introduction
This white wine is from France, specifically the Burgundy region and the Chablis subregion. Domaine George is a family-owned estate located in the village of Courgis. Second-generation winemaker Michel George, along with third-generation winemakers David and Jonathan, continue the family's tradition. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with Kimmeridgian soils composed of limestone, clay, and marine fossils, which imparts a distinct minerality to the wine.
2. Wine Description
This wine has a pale gold colour with subtle green reflections. The nose is fresh, lively, and pure with an emphasis on citrus fruit, and sometimes includes floral notes of lime-flower or mint. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied for a Chablis, yet remains fresh and elegant with a frank attack and complex flavours of very ripe citrus fruits, green apple, and white-fleshed fruits. There is a full and pleasantly rich texture that is balanced by a vibrant, steely, and persistent acidity. The finish is long, pure, and mineral-driven. The varietal composition is 100% Chardonnay. The optimal drinking window is typically within two to three years of the vintage, but the old vines provide the concentration for ageing up to eight to ten years. The ABV is 12.5%. Some wines from Domaine George are organic, but the status of this specific bottling is not consistently confirmed across sources.
