Region: Chablis, France

Vintage: 2022

Bottle size: 75cl

Grape: Chardonnay

ABV: 13%

Pale lemon in colour. On the nose the 1er Cru Beauroy has aromas of crisp citrus fruits and green apple and a classic mineral and gunflint profile. On the palate it has a creamy texture due to the extended period of lees ageing and a vibrant acidity which carries the flavours onto the lingering finish.

1er Cru Beauroy is located to the northwest of the town of Chablis. The grapes for the Domaine de l'Enclos 1er Cru `Beauroy` are sourced from a 2.4-hectare single vineyard, located near the lake of Beine. The vines were planted in 1980, on a south-facing, steep slopes with classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils packed full of fossils. The grapes are all hand harvested and the vineyard is certified organic - no chemical fertilisers or treatments are used.

Domaine de L'Enclos is one of the most exciting domaines to emerge from Chablis in the past decade. The estate is owned by siblings Romain and Damien Bouchard, whose family have been working in Chablis for generations. In 2015, they sold their father’s négociant business but retained the 39 hectares of vineyard previously owned by their mother’s family. In addition, they bought a house in the heart of the town called ‘L’Enclos’, which was originally a building used by the monks of Pontigny to house their vineyard workers.
