The estate is dedicated to preserving the classic Chablis style: crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay shaped by ancient Kimmeridgian limestone soils packed with fossilized prehistoric oyster shells (Exogyra virgula).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 \"Vieilles Vignes\" (Old Vines) is sourced from estate parcels with vines averaging 45 to 65 years of age, which yield tiny berries with lower yields and higher natural concentration. Aged primarily in stainless steel tanks with a small portion (approx. 10-15%) rested in neutral oak barrels on fine lees, the 2024 vintage balances silky mid-palate weight with electric Kimmeridgian acidity, displaying green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and crushed chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted from 45 to 65-year-old vines in Fleys, providing extra depth and mineral concentration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuintessential Kimmeridgian limestone Chablis featuring intense chalky drive and electric acidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpresses crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, white peach, and struck-flint minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe chilled between 48°F and 52°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo decanting required; open and pour directly from the bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to capture its flinty, high-toned bouquet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with raw oysters, steamed mussels, trout meunière, or fresh goat cheese.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47909011161142,"sku":"SOMM2609-DAG24CHVV-750","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2024DomaineAlainGautheron_ChablisVieillesVignes.png?v=1790624575","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2024-domaine-alain-gautheron-chablis-vieilles-vignes","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
