The 2023 Domaine Clément Lavallée Chablis Chante Merle is an expressive Chardonnay from Chablis in northern Burgundy. Sourced from mature vines on clay-limestone soils, it shows white peach, citrus and orange peel alongside fennel, beeswax and subtle freshly baked bread notes.
On the palate, it is dry, generous and finely textured, with tangy acidity providing freshness and definition. Ripe orchard and citrus fruit are balanced by savoury complexity and a distinctive saline mineral character, giving the wine both richness and precision. The 2023 finishes long, fresh and distinctly Chablis in character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chablis drinkers looking for a more generous and textural Chardonnay while retaining vibrant acidity and saline mineral freshness. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes.
