Tasting Note:
Bègue-Mathiot’s 2024 Chablis is a refreshingly honest return to form—a lean, classic expression that evokes the racy minerality of pre-climate change vintages. Pale lemon in the glass with a silvery hue, it opens with restrained yet precise aromas of green apple, lemon zest, wet stone, and white flowers. There’s no embellishment here—just pure Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most iconic terroirs.
The palate is brisk and vivid, cutting a clean line of citrus and saline minerality through its lithe frame. Dry and unoaked, it delivers tension, length, and an authentic sense of place that’s increasingly rare at this level. A faint chalkiness lingers on the finish, underscoring its Kimmeridgian roots.
A superb everyday Chablis that overdelivers on value and finesse. Enjoy now through 2027 with oysters, sushi, or goat cheese salads. The wine’s zing-y acidity provides the perfect balance to creamy/buttery sauces or rich white meat or fish dishes.
