Domaine Alain Gautheron, ‘Colette Gros’, Chablis

Burgundy | France

Bone dry but lively, with hints of hazelnuts and fresh mint. Creamy around the edges but altogether steely and very classic.

About the Producer

The Gautheron family has been cultivating vines in Chablis for five generations. The current head of the Domaine Alain Gautheron, is working with his wife and son Cyril to carry on the family’s traditions. This estate makes classic Chablis with a clear light gold colour, glinting with emerald-green. In the mouth the wine is dry as apple-parings and steely with perhaps just a delicate hint of violets and mint. Well balanced with lively acidity, the mouth presents notes of hazelnut and biscuits which add a certain charm and length to the finish. If ever a wine smacked of the terroir, this is it.

Food Pairing

Lobster, crab, prawns and other seafood.
