Vintage Character The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot from Lucien Le Moine exemplifies the refined power and mineral-driven elegance that define this prestigious site.

Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and oyster shell, complemented by notes of fresh green apple and subtle toast. The palate is defined by crystalline minerality, lively acidity, and a silky texture, revealing layers of citrus, ripe pear, and flinty complexity that culminate in a long, saline finish. Its refined structure makes it an ideal partner for fresh oysters, seared scallops, or creamy goat cheese, while also pairing beautifully with Cantonese-style steamed fish, allowing the wine’s purity and mineral drive to shine.
