Domaine Christophe et Fils, established by Sébastien Christophe in 1999, is renowned for producing precise and mineral-driven Chablis wines. With a commitment to organic practices and minimal intervention, the estate focuses on expressing the unique terroir of the Chablis region.
- WINEMAKER: Sébastien Christophe
- FARMING: Practicing organic viticulture; began organic conversion in 2021
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: The vineyards are situated on the right bank of the Serein River, characterized by Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilized marine organisms. This composition imparts a distinctive minerality and crispness to the wines
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is primarily aged in stainless steel tanks, with less than 10% aged in oak barrels to maintain purity and freshness.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity, followed by fining and filtration before bottling.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and a hint of salinity lead to a palate that is crisp and mineral-driven, showcasing flavors of green apple, citrus, and wet stones. The finish is long and elegant, with a laser-like acidity that carries the minerality throughout.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood dishes such as oysters, grilled fish, and shellfish, as well as light poultry dishes and goat cheese
