From the heart of Burgundy, the 2022 Stéphane Brocard Chablis ‘Closerie des Alisiers’ Vieilles Vignes is a testament to the magic of old vine intensity. This Chablis boasts a 95-point score, a well-deserved accolade for its vibrant, mineral-driven profile. The wine’s palate unfurls with crisp apple and citrus notes, underscored by a compelling flinty undertone that is typical of its terroir. Its bright acidity and lingering finish make it an excellent companion to fresh seafood dishes, particularly oysters or grilled halibut. Despite having the quality and complexity of a far more expensive bottle, this Chablis delivers well beyond its peers, making it a smart buy for those seeking both value and excellence.
