2023 Francine Bachelier Premium Petit Chablis White Wine

Discover Francine Bachelier’s 2023 Petit Chablis—a vibrant expression of Burgundy’s celebrated un-oaked Chardonnay tradition crafted with precision in France’s premier white wine region. This crisp white wine embodies the soul of its terroir through grapes harvested from steep slopes blanketed by hard Portlandian limestone soil, setting it apart from neighboring vineyards rooted in clay-rich Kimmeridgian limestone. The result is a mineral-focused sipper that delivers refreshing dryness and zesty acidity tailored for seafood lovers and fans of light-bodied whites.

With a luminous green-gold hue and an aromatic profile brimming with flinty minerality and citrus freshness, this wine captivates from first pour to lingering finish. Its bright acidity dances across the palate while subtle hints of green apple and pear mingle with stony undertones—a testament to its cool-climate origins—creating a balanced yet invigorating experience perfect for warm weather sipping or casual dining moments.

Ideal for pairing with briny oysters or buttery shellfish platters, this Petit Chablis shines as an elegant match for delicate seafood dishes where its sharp freshness enhances flavors without overpowering them. Its crispness also makes it an excellent choice as an aperitif before meals or alongside salads and light appetizers when you crave something refreshing yet complex enough to spark conversation at gatherings.

Francine Bachelier’s expertise shines through traditional methods that highlight purity over oak influence, ensuring every bottle reflects its unique geological roots without added complexity from aging barrels. At 12.5% alcohol by volume, this approachable white offers smooth drinkability whether enjoyed solo or paired thoughtfully—best savored young while its vibrant fruitiness remains fresh and lively compared to fuller-bodied alternatives often reserved for aging cellar collections.

For those seeking a classic Burgundy white wine that balances elegance with everyday enjoyment—or exploring regional distinctions between Petit Chablis and higher-tier crus—this bottling delivers authentic value rooted in its distinctive limestone soils and meticulous craftsmanship by one of Chablis’ most respected producers.
