If you're looking for the ultimate expression of classic Chablis, you've just found it. This 2019 release from a highly acclaimed vintage is a complete masterclass in tension and texture. Right from the first pour, it delivers a gorgeous bouquet of crisp green apple, white peach and that unmistakable oyster-shell minerality. Because the grapes enjoyed a beautifully warm growing season, the palate is remarkably generous and rounded. You'll taste vibrant waves of ripe citrus and honeysuckle, all flawlessly pinned together by a piercing, flinty acidity that drives a seriously crisp, mouth-watering finish.

Why do we love this wine?
For six generations, the Barat family has been tending vines in the region, and they've passed down an unparalleled understanding of their historic land. Their specific plot in the Mont de Milieu vineyard sits on the prestigious right bank of the Serein river, directly facing south to soak up maximum sunlight. This superb exposure guarantees the Chardonnay achieves a rich, golden ripeness that perfectly balances the appellation's famous racy acidity. Beneath the topsoil lies the true secret to this bottling. The ancient Kimmeridgian earth is heavily packed with fossilised seashells and dense limestone, naturally infusing the wine with its signature chalky energy. By treating these legendary slopes with immense respect, Domaine Barat captures a stunning snapshot of genuine French winemaking heritage.
