Tasting notes
The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is lovely, bursting with aromas of orange oil, white flowers, oyster shell, freshly baked bread and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, its satiny attack segues into an incipiently ample mid-palate and a long, saline finish.

40–50% fermented in French oak barrels (aged 6 years on average). The remainder is vinified in small stainless-steel vats. Aged 13–14 months, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels for 40 to 50% of the harvest. The end of maturation occurs in small stainless-steel vats. Tank sample. The fruit smells much riper than in the straight Chablis, with stone fruit as well as citrus. A big difference on the palate too, both from the riper fruit profile and the more obvious oak influence – more in terms of creamy lees than oak flavour though there’s a touch of oak spice. Full-flavoured and yet super-fresh. Long, too. (JH)
