The 2023 Domaine Clément Lavallée Chablis 1er Cru Les Beauregards is a distinctive Chardonnay from a tiny Premier Cru parcel in Chablis. It opens with expressive aromas of pear, peach and citrus alongside honeysuckle, beeswax and subtle mineral notes, creating a generous yet finely detailed expression of the vineyard.
On the palate, it is full and textural while retaining the vibrant acidity and freshness expected from Chablis. The wine was initially matured in a single 500-litre barrel before spending a further nine months in stainless steel, combining gentle richness with freshness and precision. The finish is persistent, mineral and finely balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chablis drinkers looking for a more generous and textural Premier Cru while retaining bright acidity and mineral character. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with scallops, grilled fish, lobster, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or soft cheeses.
