The palate is full and rounded, balanced by lively freshness and a distinctly salty, mineral note, leading to a persistent finish. Its freshness and structure should allow it to develop over the next few years when stored well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from estate vineyards between Beine and La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, where 30- to 45-year-old vines grow in Kimmeridgian limestone marl rich in fossilised oyster shells. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed; the must settles for 24 hours in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks before fermentation. Complete malolactic fermentation is followed by several months of ageing on fine lees, preserving precision while adding complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish or roast chicken. Its mineral, saline character also suits goat’s cheese. Decanting is not essential; if desired, give the wine a brief airing before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1850, Alain Geoffroy is a family estate with a long connection to Chablis and vineyards around Beine and La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne. The family also celebrates the region’s winemaking heritage through a museum housing more than 8,000 historic tools. Its work with Chablis’s Kimmeridgian soils reflects the close relationship between the region’s geology and its wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alain Geoffroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55784287764817,"sku":"XW-63357","price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/alain-geoffroy-chablis-1er-cru-beauroy-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
