Domaine Barat Chablis 2022
A superb villages Chablis with beautiful texture and tension on the palate. White peach and apricot vie with lemon zestiness and green orchard fruits.
£30.49
This villages Chablis has a beautiful floral nose, belying the wonderful energy and tension that comes on the palate. It is delicately poised, with generous green apple fruit and a zesty freshness. As with all of Barat wines, Angèle chooses to eschew the use of oak in favour of stainless steel to preserve freshness, vitality and to not mask the expression of the terroir, while Ludovic manages the vineyards using organic, herbicide-free fertilizers and viticultural practices. The grapes are hand-picked and then gently pressed, and fermentation temperatures are kept relatively low to preserve aromatics. The wine is then racked and matured in stainless steel tanks for 8 months, where malolactic fermentation takes place on the lees adding notes of cream and freshly whipped meringue.
