Profile

シャブリ、シシェ、フレイの3つの村に拠点を置くドメーヌ・デュ・シャルドネは、計4つのプルミエ・クリュを擁する造り手です。所有畑は、ヴァイヨン(2ha)、モンマン(1.64ha)、ヴォグロ(1.27ha)、そしてモン・ド・ミリュー(0.69ha)で構成されています。なかでもフレイとフィエにまたがるモン・ド・ミリューは、真南を向いた日照豊かな立地が特徴です。赤い粘土質を含む土壌からは、力強い構造と凝縮した果実味を備えたワインが生まれます。若いうちは桃を思わせる華やかで肉厚な質感が際立ちますが、熟成を経ることで本来の鋭いミネラルの核が姿を現します。右岸の恵まれた露出が生む官能的な魅力と、シャブリらしい厳格な気品を兼ね備えたラインナップが、このドメーヌのアイデンティティを形作っています。

History

Domaine du Chardonnay is a Chablis estate whose name is, inevitably, a statement of purpose. Chablis is the northernmost wine zone in Burgundy — geographically isolated, climatically demanding, and defined by the Kimmeridgean limestone soils that give its Chardonnay a cut and mineral salinity found nowhere else in the region. The domaine's founding details are not widely recorded, but its vineyard selection tells a coherent story.

Winemaking Approach

Four premier cru parcels across three communes — Chablis, Chichée, and Fleys — give the estate range along the full east-facing arc of the appellation. Vaillons and Montmains deliver the trademark green-tinged, flinty Chablis character; Vosgros and Mont de Milieu add textural and aromatic contrast from their distinct exposures.

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.

2017★★★★Drink nowFrost again reduced volumes, but surviving fruit produced bright, classical, mineral-clear Chablis with poise and freshness.
