The 2023 Domaine Gérard Duplessis Petit Chablis is a beautifully pure Chardonnay from one of Chablis' most respected organic estates. Sourced from two small parcels on limestone-rich Portlandian soils, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for 10–12 months in stainless steel, preserving its freshness and mineral precision. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white flowers, with hints of crushed oyster shell and subtle tropical notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and impressive depth for the appellation. Vibrant citrus and orchard fruit are complemented by chalky minerality and a refreshing saline edge, leading to a long, clean finish with excellent balance and finesse. Elegant and quietly complex, it is an outstanding Petit Chablis that overdelivers in both character and value.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Domaine Gérard Duplessis Petit Chablis is an ideal match for oysters, grilled prawns, sushi, fresh crab, roast chicken or goat's cheese. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2031 while its vibrant fruit and mineral freshness are at their best.
