The 2024 Christophe Patrice Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard presents an elegant and layered aromatic profile, opening with notes of white peach, ripe citrus, and subtle orchard fruits. Hints of hazelnut and delicate floral tones add complexity, while a pronounced mineral edge—typical of the Kimmeridgian limestone soils—gives the nose a refined, terroir-driven character.
On the palate, the wine is poised and quietly powerful, showing more depth and concentration than village-level Chablis. Flavours of lemon, green apple, and white fruits unfold with precision, supported by a fine, chalky texture and vibrant acidity. The structure is balanced and composed, combining freshness with a gentle mid-palate weight derived from old vines, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and subtly layered.
The finish is long, refined, and mineral-driven, with a persistent saline note and a touch of spice that adds lift and complexity. It lingers with finesse rather than intensity, emphasizing purity, precision, and a classic Premier Cru expression. Overall, this is a sophisticated, terroir-focused Chablis that balances freshness, structure, and understated richness with excellent aging potential.
