Description
Domaine de Oliveira Lecestre Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2021 is a remarkable representation of the Chablis style, offering a clean, classic profile of Chardonnay. With 100% Chardonnay grapes, this wine showcases a beautiful balance of ripe citrus fruits and elegant minerality, typical of Chablis wines. On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and delicate floral hints, which evolve on the palate into a smooth, crisp mouthfeel. The wine has a characteristic saline note, enhancing its refreshing, cleansing finish.
The 2021 vintage was particularly challenging due to adverse weather conditions, including an April frost and high rainfall throughout summer, which reduced yields and required careful vineyard management. Despite these difficulties, the remaining fruit matured well, resulting in a wine with fresh fruit flavours and a pronounced mineral quality. This wine’s precision and purity reflect the resilience of the terroir, offering an authentic expression of Chablis.
Ideal for seafood, oysters, or grilled white fish, this Chablis Vieilles Vignes will pair wonderfully with light, delicate dishes, making it a versatile addition to any wine collection.

| Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from the 'Vielles Vignes' old estate vines, planted in Kimmeridgian soils. The composition of pebbles, limestone, and clay dates from the Jurassic period and imparts the characteristic mineral notes renowned in Chablis, along with elegance and finesse. This famous Kimmeridgian soil, with the influence of the nearby River Serein and the general Chablis microclimate, results in a long ripening period, allowing the fruit to gain ripeness while building natural acidity, resulting in beautifully balanced wines. |
