In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale, racy, and utterly alive: lemon and lime citrus lift white flowers overhead, all anchored by the steely mineral character that defines north Burgundy Chardonnay. At 12.5% alcohol and bone-dry acidity, this wine delivers refreshment and depth without heaviness. Six months on lees added texture without muddying the vibrant, lean-rather-than-fat fruit profile.

The Winery — Domaine Vrignaud

Guillaume Vrignaud joined his family's operation in 1999, persuading his father—then a co-op member—to build a cellar and bottle in-house. The vision proved prescient: the domaine has grown from 12 hectares to 28 today, all organically farmed since 2019. The fruit comes from south-east-facing clay-limestone slopes near Fontenay-Près-Chablis, where 30-year-old vines deliver intensity without excess. Guillaume's philosophy centres on picking at precisely the right moment—when grape seeds brown but before overripeness or botrytis strikes. Natural fermentation in stainless steel and minimal intervention echo generations of Burgundian winemaking tradition, allowing vineyard character to shine unfiltered in the finished wine.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Serve chilled alongside oysters, sole, poached chicken, or butter-based shellfish preparations. The wine's precision makes it equally at home as an aperitivo or at the centre of a leisurely Sunday lunch with soft cheeses and white fish. This organic, vegan-friendly Chablis sits proudly within our Burgundy collection—world-class quality without the prestige pricing of Puligny or Meursault.
