Domaine Leflaive Chablis Vaillons 2022

Domaine Leflaive Chablis Vaillons 2022 is a refined Premier Cru white Burgundy that combines Chablis’s hallmark mineral character with the precision and elegance associated with one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most respected domaines. Made from Chardonnay, it reflects the cool, limestone-rich terroir of Les Vaillons while benefiting from the ripe, generous conditions of the 2022 vintage.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale gold in the glass, this Chablis opens with aromas of lemon zest, white peach and crisp green apple, followed by delicate floral notes and a distinctive flinty, chalky nuance. The palate is focused and energetic, balancing ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a subtle saline edge. The wine has the structure and concentration to develop additional complexity in bottle, with notes of toasted almond, dried citrus and wet stone likely to emerge over the next five to eight years. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness and precision, or cellared for greater depth.

Production
Les Vaillons is a respected Premier Cru climat on the left bank of the Serein River, where cool conditions and Kimmeridgian limestone soils contribute to Chablis’s characteristic tension and minerality. Produced from Chardonnay, the wine is made with careful selection of healthy, ripe fruit and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and maturation designed to preserve the purity of the fruit and the identity of the terroir.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its freshness and mineral character make it an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, grilled or poached fish, sushi, seafood risotto and goat’s cheese. Decanting is not essential when serving the wine young, although 20–30 minutes of gentle aeration can help reveal its more nuanced aromas.

Producer
Domaine Leflaive is one of Burgundy’s benchmark producers, with deep roots in Puligny-Montrachet and an international reputation for precise, age-worthy Chardonnay. The domaine became especially influential through its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and its focus on expressing individual vineyard sites rather than relying on heavy winemaking. Its wines are valued for their purity, balance and ability to convey the character of Burgundy’s limestone terroirs.
