July 2025 White Burgundy Pre-Arrival Tasting

Introduction:
A fresh and mineral-driven take on classic Chablis, the 2023 Domaine Gérard Tremblay Chablis captures the essence of cool-climate Burgundy with clarity and finesse. A great expression of precision and purity.

Terroir:
Vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils around Chablis, nurtured by a cool continental climate with marked diurnal temperature shifts—ideal for preserving crisp acidity and expressive minerality.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with delicate green highlights; clear and shimmering in the glass.

Nose:
Bright aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach unfold alongside wet stone, chalk dust, and gentle saline-marine notes. Subtle floral hints emerge with aeration.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, with taut, refreshing acidity that frames a steely, mineral core. Flavors echo the nose—citrus (lemon, lime), orchard fruit, and underlying flintiness—delivering a precise and focused profile.

Finish:
Clean, lingering, and bright, closing with lingering citrus, salty minerality, and a crisp chalky finish that leaves the palate invigorated.

Overall Impression:
A lovely, terroir-driven Chablis—pure, lively, and well-balanced. It’s an excellent companion for oysters, shellfish, goat cheese, or enjoyed solo as a refined aperitif. Drink now through 2027 for optimal freshness.
