Dom Gautheron Chablis Vieilles Vignes is an exquisite expression of traditional Chablis, produced from Chardonnay vines that are over 50 years old. These ‘Vieilles Vignes’ contribute to the wine’s concentrated flavors and complexity. Domaine Gautheron is renowned for their meticulous vineyard management, ensuring that the terroir of Chablis—marked by its limestone-rich, Kimmeridgian soils—is perfectly represented in the wine. Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel, this wine preserves the characteristic Chablis minerality and freshness, while a small portion aged in oak barrels adds depth and hints of creaminess. Its reputation is bolstered by consistent praise and recognition in wine competitions, embodying a true cultural facet of Burgundy’s winemaking heritage.
