Domaine Passy le Clou Chablis 2022 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from vineyards around the village of Beine in Chablis, this wine reflects a classic northern Burgundy landscape shaped by Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in marine fossils. These ancient seabed formations are key to the region’s signature tension and saline minerality. The vineyards are spread across multiple parcels, allowing for a blended expression that captures both fruit purity and the chalky, mineral-driven identity of Chablis.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Produced in a clean, modern Chablis style, the fruit is gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision. Temperature-controlled fermentation ensures a focus on aromatic clarity and citrus-driven expression, while a short period of lees aging adds texture and subtle roundness. The overall approach is restrained, emphasizing purity over oak influence or weight.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, the 2022 opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, pear, and white flowers, with a faint saline, oyster-shell edge. The palate is bright and energetic, showing crisp citrus fruit layered over a chalky, mineral backbone. There’s a gentle orchard fruit sweetness at the core, balanced by lively acidity and a clean, linear finish with subtle saline lift.

Food Pairing & Service
A natural match for classic seafood dishes, this Chablis pairs beautifully with oysters, clams, grilled prawns, and sushi. It also works well with roast chicken, light creamy sauces, and fresh goat cheese. Serve well chilled to highlight its precision and refreshing acidity.

Cellaring Potential
Best enjoyed in its youth over the next 3–5 years, this wine is designed for freshness and early-drinking appeal. While it may gain a touch more integration with short-term aging, its charm lies in its vibrant citrus fruit and crisp, mineral-driven profile.
