Andre Goichot Chablis 2021 (Chablis, France)

from $63.00

A classic and quintessential year, In 2021 due to the severe shortage of wines, 20% of 1er Cru Vosgros was added to the wine to provide greater texture and volume.

Vosgros is a Premier Cru vineyard at the southern end of Chablis in northern Burgundy. The slopes of this site form a natural, southwest-oriented amphitheatre, making a Chardonnay-based wine with bright, fresh characters that are classically Chablis, albeit slightly riper and rounder.

Nose very fresh, lively and mineral with flint, green apple, lemon, underbrush and field mushroom. Notes of lime-flower, mint, and acacia occur frequently, as do aromas of liquorice and freshly-cut hay. Age deepens the colour and adds a note of spice to the bouquet. On the palate, these aromas retain their freshness for an extended period. Perky and full of juice, it has an attack like an infantry charge. Long and likeable persistence leads to a smooth and serene finish. Very dry and impeccably delicate, Chablis has a unique and readily-recognisable personality.
