In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Vibrant citrus and stone fruit with a mineral spine define this expression of cool-climate Chardonnay. The nose opens with lively citrus and stone-fruit notes; on the palate, bright acidity is anchored by texture from lees ageing in stainless steel, turning saline and linear on the finish. At 12.5% alcohol with no oak vanity, this is restraint and precision—the pure character of place.

The Winery — Domaine Soupé

Brothers Frédéric and Jean-Michel recently took independent control of their family's Chablis vineyards, departing the historic co-operative in 2018 for their first vintage. Three generations of the Soupé lineage have farmed these slopes; today they steward 16 hectares under sustainable practice, with vines sitting just below Mont de Milieu in Fleys on south-facing clay and limestone. These old vines—28 to 31 years—pull real minerality from the chalk bedrock. Frédéric's winemaking philosophy centres on minimal intervention: gentle pressing, natural fermentation, and letting the fruit express its terroir. The 2023 vintage, warmed and generous, was harvested with careful sorting to ensure only ripe, healthy grapes reached the vat.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Pair this with shellfish, white fish, poached chicken, or any dish with butter or cream sauce—it's one of the finest examples of Burgundy at this price. Perfect for Sunday lunch, date night, or as an aperitivo. Serve chilled at 8–10°C to showcase the linear minerality and saline length.
