Domaine Testut Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2023

Village Chablis from fifty- to sixty-year-old massale-selection vines on steep right-bank Kimmeridgian slopes, in the corridor just below Grand Cru Blanchots and 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre -- an address most domaines would bottle at a considerably higher billing. Cyril Testut has run these thirteen hectares since 1998, hand-harvests everything, and raises this one for sixteen months on fine lees in stainless steel so nothing gets between you and the limestone. Old roots also proved useful in 2023: they carried the vines through the late-season heat and kept the wine from going flabby. The result has more mid-palate density than village Chablis usually musters, with the saline nerve of the slope running through it.
