2021 Georges Deschamps Chablis
by Brix Fine Wines PTY Ltd
View producer profile
This is a deliciously fragrant Chablis with the characteristic flintiness and mineral backbone the appellation is known and loved for.
Juicy, energetic and crisp, this wine has delicate notes of struck match, pink grapefruit, apricot, white peach and pear, offering an aromatic complexity few in Chablis can deliver.
Long finish, full of texture and ‘chalky’ grip. A superb example of organic Chablis from certified organic vines by Domaine Vrignaud.

Having settled next to Fontenay-près-Chablis in the 19th century, the Vrignaud family remains one of but a handful of family-owned estates in Chablis. Having long worked according to organic principles they pioneered a sustainability-driven approach in a region where low intervention practices can be rather challenging due to weather hazards and disease pressure. In 2009 Guillaume started the process to obtain full organic certification.
The Vrignauds have always worked each parcel individually and with great care, after minutely detailing the specific profiles of Portlandien et Kimméridgien strata in each of them. The best-suited Chardonnay clones, chosen through massal selection by observing the plants performing ideally in historical sites, were planted on corresponding soil profiles for optimum ripeness and controlled yields. They currently own 29 hectares of vines, including prized plots in the Blanchot Grand Cru and Fourchaume and Mont de Milieu Premier Crus
The fifth generation of his family at the helm of their eponymous estate, Guillaume Vrignaud has built upon the pioneering legacy which turned them into a beacon of sustainability in Chablis. With the Georges Deschamps range, Guillaume pays tribute to his ancestors and their focus on purity and terroir.

Interesting fact: It was only when Guillaume joined the family operation in 1999 that Vrignaud started making its own wines. His father was, until then, a member of the Chablis co-op and took a bit of convincing to build his own winery and take the leap. Guillaume’s belief in the quality of their fruit and viticultural knowledge certainly paid off, having translated into wines that got immediate and wide acclaim, quickly allowing them to grow from 12 to the 29 hectares of vines they currently own.
