These deeper-rooting, old vines tap directly into the bedrock of Fontenay-près-Chablis, yielding a tiny crop of highly concentrated fruit. It is a bottling that insiders constantly hunt for because it routinely outperforms many producers' premier crus, showing off the serious side of the estate's old-vine heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a cold, lower-yielding year that naturally packed the grapes with immense flavor and a very classic flavour profile. To handle the extra muscle and depth of this old-vine fruit, Sébastien ages a portion of this cuvée in older oak barrels alongside stainless steel. This subtle touch of wood coaxes out a much broader, richer texture and lets the wine sit on its lees without ever losing its sharp limestone focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with an intense mix of lemon curd, yellow orchard fruit, and a distinct, savory gunflint reduction. The palate is noticeably broader and more physical than the regular village bottling, carrying a deep, concentrated weight that coats the mouth before a wave of briny, oyster-shell acidity sweeps in to clean it up. The finish is remarkably long and savory, leaving a persistent chalky grip that demands food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a brilliant, layered old-vine Chablis that brings grander scale and texture to the glass while keeping its feet firmly planted in Kimmeridgian stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christophe et Fils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44070220628011,"sku":"2024 Christophe et Fils Chablis Vieilles Vignes","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2020ChristopheetFilsChablisViellesVignes_1.png?v=1782978946","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-christophe-et-fils-chablis-vieilles-vignes","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
