The 2025 Pascal Bouchard Petit Chablis is a bright and beautifully refreshing expression of northern Burgundy Chardonnay, crafted from vineyards planted on the limestone-rich Portlandian soils surrounding Chablis. Produced entirely from Chardonnay and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine is aged on fine lees for around six months to preserve freshness while adding subtle texture and complexity. Pascal Bouchard’s Petit Chablis style focuses on purity, minerality and vibrant drinkability, delivering classic Chablis character in a youthful and approachable form.
The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered with sea spray, white florals and chalky mineral notes. On the palate, it is crisp, lively and beautifully clean with bright citrus acidity and a refreshing saline edge that gives the wine excellent energy and focus. Layers of pear, grapefruit and wet stone unfold with freshness and finesse, finishing dry, vibrant and wonderfully mouthwatering with classic Petit Chablis minerality.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Pascal Bouchard Petit Chablis is a fresh, mineral and effortlessly drinkable Burgundy white — crisp, elegant and packed with seafood-friendly freshness. Perfect with oysters, prawns, sashimi, grilled white fish or goat’s cheese. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy young for maximum vibrancy and purity.
