Barton & Guestier Chablis Saint Louis 2020

The Barton & Guestier Chablis Saint Louis 2020 is a crisp and refreshing expression of Chardonnay, hailing from the renowned Chablis region in Burgundy, France. This wine is crafted with great care, reflecting over 300 years of winemaking expertise from Barton & Guestier. The grapes are handpicked and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and elegantly structured.

Nose: The nose is bright and aromatic, with seductive aromas of pear, apricot, and lemon, intertwined with delicate mineral notes that are characteristic of Chablis. There’s also a hint of white flowers that adds a layer of complexity to the bouquet.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is crisp and mineral-driven, with flavours of green apple, grapefruit, and a touch of peach. The wine’s acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing lift that enhances the fruit and mineral interplay. The stainless steel ageing process allows the natural flavours of the Chardonnay grape to shine through, without any interference from oak.

Finish: The finish is clean and long, with lingering notes of citrus and a subtle oyster shell minerality that makes it a classic example of Chablis.

This Chablis is an ideal match for seafood, particularly oysters, as well as light poultry dishes and fresh salads. It’s a wine that embodies the elegance and precision of Burgundy’s Chablis region.
