Christophe et Fils Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2022

Categories , ,

Despite only benefitting from the morning sun before it disappears, Blanchot remains, paradoxically, a warm terroir. Its steep slope and sheltered location result in slow ripening conditions, with a harvest that generally starts well after that of its neighbor, Les Clos. In some places, poor clays with shells, stones, or even blue and green sticky draining clays replace the Kimmeridgian limestone in the subsoil.

It’s a little bit of a tricky Grand Cru vineyard to nail down, but if you know what you are doing – the end results here can be absolutely out of this world. Coming from 600-700 feet in elevation, I think the natural acid here is absolutely special, especially in even growing season like the 2022 vintage turned out to be. Sébastien really shows off with this one. Besides maybe Domaine Raveneau, I’m not sure I’ve had a better, more pure example.

The Grand Cru vineyard of Blanchot stretches over 12.5 hectares on the east side of the Grand Cru appelation. The vineyard is named after the light color of its soil and subsoil. It’s a difficult terroir to nail down since it has limited sun exposure compared to most everyone else, but if you know what you are doing – the end results here can be absolutely out of this world. Coming from 600-700 feet in elevation, I think the natural acid here is absolutely special, especially in even growing season like the 2022 vintage turned out to be.
