Chablis, Beauregard, 1er Cru, 2017
A cooler, late-ripening terroir out of which Thomas manages to craft wines of superb harmony. He ages it in a larger proportion of wooden barrels than the other cuvées, 90%, as the wine responds well to the wood without imparting much oak flavour to the wine. Full and sumptuous, bursting with alluring, golden and yellow fruits. The buttery texture is encircled by juicy and fresh citrus with crunchy notes of ripe orchard fruit. Aged in 90% fut, 10% tank for two years.
critic reviews
The 2017 Chablis Beauregard 1er Cru is a deep, viscous wine built on textural richness and volume. Dried apricot, almond, chamomile, spice, mint and lightly honeyed notes build in a dense, layered Chablis loaded with class and personality. The 2017 is silky, persistent, and exceptionally beautiful with a very saline, delicate finish.
