Alain Geoffroy Chablis Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2020
$56.00
Pale golden yellow in colour with slight greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid.
The nose shows instantly both maturity and freshness in a festival of flowers and fruit. The floral notes of menthol, acacias and citronella mingle with grapefruit, butterscotch and freshly baked buns…
Taste is powerful with pretty, harmonious mellowness, perfectly supported by its frank, yet unaggressive liveliness. The long finish prolongs the pleasure with a pronounced mineral presence enhanced by a delicate hint of wood.

Honoré Geoffroy developed the vineyards over the villages of Beine and La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, in the heart of the Chablis vineyards, around 1850.Alain Geoffroy expanded the property and took it to the level of an Estate. A worthy heir to previous generations, he committed to keeping the traditional family character.Backed by the whole family’s hard work for the developmentof the Domaine, our wines have received many prizes and medals. We have 50 hectares of producing vineyards, and have gathered a young and dynamic team, to produce fresh, fruity Chablis wines with a good mineral character, respecting the typicity of Chablis.
Large stainless-steel tanks are used for the vinification, to preserve the freshness and the typical character of the Chablis wines. Wines made from “vieilles vignes” vines are made in oak barrels. The wines are bottled exclusively on the Estate.
Immediately recognisable by their finesse, their mineral character and their good, long finish, Chablis wines are made from the Chardonnay grape.
