2023 Louis Jadot Chablis AC, Beaune

Louis Jadot Chablis AC is a classic expression of unoaked Chardonnay, showcasing the purity and minerality that define the Chablis appellation. Crafted by winemaker Frédéric Barnier, this wine reflects Louis Jadot’s dedication to producing high-quality, terroir-driven wines across Burgundy. Sourced from limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils, this Chablis is crisp, vibrant, and precise, making it an excellent introduction to the region’s distinctive style.

Pale gold in color with green highlights, the wine opens with fresh aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, layered with subtle notes of crushed oyster shell and wet stone. The palate is bright and refreshing, offering citrus and pear flavors balanced by zesty acidity and a fine, chalky texture. A long, mineral-driven finish leaves lingering hints of saline and lime, making it a quintessential Chablis with a clean, elegant profile.

This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as oysters, grilled prawns, and pan-seared scallops. It also complements light poultry dishes, goat cheese, and vegetable-based pastas. Best enjoyed in its youth for its lively freshness, but it has the ability to evolve over the next 3–5 years.

Louis Jadot Chablis AC is a textbook representation of the appellation, combining the estate’s expertise with the region’s signature minerality and precision, making it a must-try for Chardonnay lovers.
