Domaine Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020

Domaine Gérard Duplessis is a family run cellar founded in 1895, today managed by Lilian Duplessis. Located in the heart of the Chablis’s region it has 8 ha of vines divided into about twenty plots, each with its own character, vines installed, for some, for 75 years, and constant attention, organic viticulture requires. Grand Cru Les Clos, Premiers Crus Vaugiraut, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, Montée-de-Tonnerre, Montmains and Vaillons: so many localities with names well known to Chablis lovers, and honored on their Estate.

Domaine Gerard Duplessis Chablis is a blend of three plots located opposite the Premier Cru Vaillons. Floral and mineral, it can be kept for two to five years, and can be eaten on many occasions: aperitif, shellfish, cold buffet. The very type of wine of the appellation.

The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely
weighted finish. Give this a year in bottle. - Neal Martin, September 2022
