Winemaking This 100% Chardonnay is grown on the higher slopes surrounding the Chablis appellation, where younger Kimmeridgian soils give lighter, fruit-forward expressions. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, the 2023 Petit Chablis is made in a fresh, unoaked style that celebrates fruit clarity and vibrant minerality. Maison Albert Bichot applies a gentle, hands-off approach to highlight the terroir’s natural tension and elegance.
Bouquet The nose is delicate and lifted, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white blossom. Subtle mineral notes of chalk and wet stone bring a refreshing cool-climate signature.
Palate Bright and lively, the palate shows crisp citrus, orchard fruit and a light saline touch. A fine thread of acidity brings structure and drive, leading to a clean, mouth-watering finish. Light-bodied and elegant, it’s a wine that’s easy to love and perfect for everyday refreshment.
Food Pairing Ideal with fresh seafood, oysters, sushi or goat cheese salad. Also excellent as an aperitif or paired with light vegetarian dishes and grilled white fish.
Interesting Fact Although often seen as the baby brother of Chablis, Petit Chablis offers exceptional value and charm—especially in warmer vintages like 2023, where ripeness and acidity are beautifully in balance.
