DOMAINE GERARD DUPLESSIS

Domaine Gérard Duplessis is one of Chablis' most respected family-owned estates, producing elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnay that exemplifies the purity and mineral precision of Burgundy's northernmost wine region. With a family winemaking history dating back to the late 19th century, the domaine has quietly built a reputation as one of Chablis' benchmark producers through meticulous vineyard work and a commitment to traditional winemaking.

Based in the village of Chablis, the estate farms approximately 10 hectares of vineyards across Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru appellations. Its holdings include prestigious sites such as Montée de Tonnerre, Mont de Milieu, Vaillons, Fourchaume, and the Grand Cru Les Clos, all planted on the region's famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilised marine sediments.

Domaine Gérard Duplessis is dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay, producing wines that express the subtle differences between Chablis' historic climats. The wines display aromas of lemon, lime, green apple, white peach, citrus blossom, oyster shell, chalk, and flint. On the palate, they are vibrant, linear, and mineral-driven, combining crisp natural acidity with remarkable depth, precision, and exceptional ageing potential.

The domaine follows a philosophy of sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar. Vineyard work focuses on maintaining healthy soils and low yields, while hand harvesting, gentle pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation, and extended ageing on fine lees preserve the purity of the fruit and the character of each vineyard. Oak is used sparingly, allowing the distinctive minerality of Chablis to remain the defining feature of every wine.

Under the stewardship of Lilian Duplessis, the estate has earned widespread international acclaim for producing some of the most authentic and age-worthy wines in Chablis. Its refined, understated style has made Domaine Gérard Duplessis a favourite among Burgundy collectors, sommeliers, and lovers of classic Chardonnay.
