Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2022 Domaine Barat
The Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2022 from Domaine Barat embodies the most authentic essence of Chablis terroir, elegantly and complexly expressing the extraordinary interplay of soil, climate, and grape variety. Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine comes from 50-60-year-old vines cultivated on clay-limestone soils and Kimmeridgian marl, rich in marine fossils that impart structure and longevity.
Located on the left bank of the Serein River, the Premier Cru Vaillons benefits from optimal exposure, allowing perfect ripening of the grapes. This results in a fuller and rounder style compared to wines from the right bank, while retaining the freshness and acidity characteristic of Chablis.
Vinified in stainless steel for 12 months without the use of oak, the Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2022 maintains a pure and classic style, emphasizing the fruit's freshness and transparency. Thanks to its structure and complexity, this wine promises to retain its vibrancy for 5-7 years, evolving toward greater complexity while preserving its original charm.
In the glass, the Vaillons 2022 displays a brilliant straw-yellow color, hinting at a refined and intriguing bouquet. The nose reveals notes of white flowers, green apple, and tropical hints intertwined with an elegant briny minerality. On the palate, the wine impresses with its vibrant freshness, remarkable concentration, and a long, elegant finish supported by precise and well-balanced acidity.
With a winemaking tradition dating back to 1795, Domaine Barat is renowned for producing extraordinary Chablis at accessible prices. The Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2022 perfectly exemplifies this philosophy, offering a unique sensory experience and standing as one of the finest expressions of the Premier Cru in the region.
A wine not to be missed for lovers of characterful Chardonnay, it pairs wonderfully with fish, shellfish, and fresh cheeses, or can be savored on its own to fully appreciate its nuances.
