The 2023 Domaine Goisot Chablis Faucertaine is a precise single-parcel Chardonnay from the Chablis appellation, planted on white and blue Kimmeridgian marl rich in limestone and ancient marine fossils. This distinctive terroir gives the wine its characteristic mineral and saline edge, while the 2023 vintage brings generous citrus and orchard fruit alongside excellent freshness. The nose shows lemon, white peach and green apple with white flowers, hazelnut, fine liquorice and a subtle sea-spray character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with a straight, energetic structure and lively acidity supporting layers of lemon, citrus, white fruit and delicate orchard flavours. White flowers and subtle almond and hazelnut notes add complexity, while the Kimmeridgian limestone brings a pronounced chalky, stony and saline character through the mid-palate. The texture gains breadth as the wine opens without losing its precision, leading to a dry, long and persistent finish with lingering citrus, mineral and saline notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay and Chablis drinkers who enjoy mineral-driven whites with purity, freshness and fine texture. The 2023 is already approachable but has the acidity and structure to develop additional savoury, nutty and mineral complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve chilled with oysters, scallop crudo, grilled whiting with lemon butter, seared prawns, sole meunière, or aged Comté.
