Profile

シャブリの西側に位置するベヌ村に本拠を置くアラン・ジョフロワは、この地のテロワールを実直に表現する造り手である。ドメーヌが所有する畑は、拠点のベヌ村に広がる一級畑のヴォー・リニョに集約されており、総保有数はこの1カ所に限定されている。特級畑は所有せず、特定のクリマに注力するその姿勢からは、土地の個性を深く掘り下げようとする実直な造りの一端が垣間見える。ヴォー・リニョはシャブリの中でも比較的冷涼な微気候を持つことで知られるが、同ドメーヌはこの一級畑のポテンシャルを最大限に引き出すことに専念している。限られた所有面積の中で、ベヌ村の個性を反映したシャブリの本質を追求し続けている点が、このドメーヌの最大の特徴といえるだろう。

History

Alain Geoffroy is based in Beine, on the left bank of the Serein river west of Chablis. A single premier cru parcel — Vau Ligneau — constitutes the documented holding. Public records on founding and family lineage are sparse.

Winemaking Approach

A single-parcel estate. Vau Ligneau sits in the Beine sector, where soils transition slightly from the classic Kimmeridgean of the right bank; wines tend toward a rounder, slightly fuller style than the more austere right-bank premiers crus.

YrScoreWindowNotes
2024★★★★★Drink earlyA brutal year of frost, hail, flooding and mildew. The little fruit that survived shows taut, bracing character but quantities are catastrophic.
2023★★★★★Drink earlyA large, ripe, juicy crop with balance but softer acidity. Drink-now appeal rather than long-aging structure.
2022★★★★HoldEarly harvest in a warm year delivered fresh, lively, juicy Chablis with structure for medium-to-long aging.
2021★★★★★HoldApril frost cut yields by half. A return to cool-climate, high-acid classicism with taut, mineral-driven wines built to age.
2020★★★★★HoldAn outstanding harvest with mouthwatering classical balance. Concentration and freshness combine for excellent long-term aging.
2019★★★★HoldDrought-shortened crop yielded concentrated, bright wines with retained acidity and good medium-to-long-term aging potential.
2018★★★★Drink nowAbundant, sunny year producing ample, ripe Chablis with exotic fruit and generous mid-palate. A more modern, fleshy style.
2017★★★★Drink nowFrost again reduced volumes, but surviving fruit produced bright, classical, mineral-clear Chablis with poise and freshness.
