2024 Christophe et Fils, Chablis - Half Bottle

Sébastien Christophe of Domaine Christophe et Fils approaches his Chablis with a steadfast commitment to minimal intervention, prioritizing biodiversity and soil vitality across his Kimmeridgian limestone vineyards. His methodology, involving spontaneous fermentation and aging predominantly in stainless steel, is meticulously tailored to allow the inherent tension and purity of the region's classic soils to express themselves. The 2024 growing season presented formidable challenges with significant rainfall, frost, and hail, yet dedicated vineyard management ensured grapes that, despite lower sugar levels and reduced yields, maintained excellent physiological ripeness. Consequently, this Chablis exhibits a precise, fresh structural profile, characterized by bright acidity and an assertive minerality that speaks directly to the vintage's cool, demanding conditions.
