Description
100% Chardonnay | 1er Cru Left Bank
Beauroy is a Premier Cru that balances sun-drenched fruit with intense mineral tension. Christophe Patrice focuses on a “low-intervention” style, utilizing stainless steel fermentation to ensure the purity of the Chardonnay fruit is never masked by oak. This 2023 release is a “bright” wine, characterized by its chiseled structure and a persistent saline finish that speaks directly to the Kimmeridgian limestone soils of the site.
The Experience: High-definition and mineral-forward. A wine that feels “vertical” and precise on the palate.
Aromas: A very clean and expressive nose. Recent reviews highlight a bouquet of white peach, lemon zest, and green apple, layered with hawthorn blossoms and a distinct “gunflint” smokiness.
Palate: Racy and energetic. It lead with succulent orchard fruits, balanced by a powerful streak of citrus acidity. The mid-palate has a lovely “stony” weight without being heavy.
The Finish: Long and remarkably clean. It leaves a signature salty, oyster-shell impression that is the hallmark of top-tier Chablis.
