This Chablis opens with aromas of lemon, lime and white flowers, followed by hints of green apple and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and finely balanced, combining bright acidity with a subtle creamy texture. It's fresh, mineral and quietly complex, and finishes long, clean, and mouthwateringly saline.

Domaine Vrignaud is a true family story, rooted in Fontenay-près-Chablis for five generations. While the family had long grown grapes, everything changed in 1999 when Guillaume Vrignaud persuaded his father to leave the local cooperative, build a cellar and start bottling their own wines. It was a bold move, and one that paid off. What began as a 12-hectare domaine has steadily grown to around 28 hectares, all now farmed organically, with a reputation for precision, purity and consistency. Guillaume believes great Chablis is made first and foremost in the vineyard. His parcels span Kimmeridgian limestone, white clay and Portlandian soils, and rather than championing one over the other, he prefers blending them to build balance and complexity. Certified organic since 2019, the vineyards are worked with great care, and harvest timing is key. “I pick when the seeds are brown but before the grapes become heavy or overripe,” Guillaume explains. The goal? Chablis that is taut, mineral and precise, rather than broad or flashy - a philosophy that has clearly struck a chord, with the 2022 vintage crowned Fine White Wine of the Year at the 2024 Sommelier Wine Awards.
