Gautheron Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022

“Cyril Gautheron is a superb producer making wines in a crisp cool classically Chablis style, which is now really quite hard to achieve in these warmer seasons.” – Jasper Morris, 2024

The Chablis Vieilles Vignes garnered five stars from Morris – his highest category, awarded to less than 10% of the wines he reviews.  Though a fifth of this wine saw time in oak, its influence is in the addition of sophistication and refinement rather than flavor. Morris felt that the old vines “really add something” beyond concentration here, finding “flesh apparent even on the nose” and “searing, chiseled white fruit.”
