2023 Chablis, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2023 Chablis, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Benoît’s village Chablis is one of the best (the best?) out there, and is always a fast seller. It has a strong following of fans who return to it year after year for its great value and high quality. It’s packed with fruit, and has an energy and persistence that propels it across the palate. There’s a nice chalky freshness and zingy lift.

Tasting notes

All kimmeridgian. Pale colour, much more depth to the fruit than the Petit Chablis. But this is honeyed with yellow plums and tropical fruit before the salinity returns. Attractive in its style

The 2023 Chablis Village offers pretty orchard fruit on the nose with a touch of chalk dust. The palate is well balanced with more tension than the Petit Chablis. A touch of sour lemon and green apple on the finish. Fine.
