Georges Deschamps Chablis 2022
The Wine
Minimal intervention Chablis, a rarity - from hand-picked organic grapes, the wine undergoes a spontaneous fermentation, extended lees-work, and is bottled unfiltered with only a small dose of sulphites.
2020 Vintage : 92 Points Mike Bennie (The Wine Front) - "Certified organic, lo-fi producer. Good gear from this outfit. Toasty elements, soft texture, a bit of mealy character, green apple, a little nashi pear, really lovely fruit characters and a late slip of grapefruity acidity. It feels a bit broad but reigns in some nice mineral and citrus fruit notes with a touch of chalkiness in tow. Ripper drink."

About the Wine Maker
Owned and managed by Guillaume Vrignaud, thje Domaine takes its name from Guillaume's grandfather. The Vrignaud family has been settled in the village of Fontenay-pres-Chablis for five generations. The Domaine is one of a handful of family estates to produce organic wine in Chablis. The family has the utmost respect for nature and biodiversity and has always been working their land in an organic way. In 2009 the Domaine received organic certification but to Guillaume, organic farming goes beyond what any certification requires and is more a way of living. Guillaume aims to produce wines that reflect both their origin and climate. As a result, intervention in the cellar is very low and is often a slow process that respects the personality of the wine and the vintage.
