2023 Testut, Chablis, 1er Cru Forets

Located in the historic heart of the Chablis village, Domaine Testut is managed by Cyril Testut, who continues a family winemaking tradition on estate vineyards farmed with generational care. Made from vines averaging roughly 70 years of age rooted in Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, this premier cru bottling captures the essence of its distinct hillside terrain. The wine displays concentrated notes of hazelnut, acacia honey, and ripe white fruit, balanced by a lengthy, structured finish. The 2023 growing season yielded healthy, well-ripened fruit that accentuates the depth and underlying mineral drive of the estate's oldest parcels. This bottle is ready to enjoy tonight for those seeking classic regional tension, yet it possesses the substance to evolve gracefully in the cellar for years to come.
