ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter, Maud. In January 2022, Maud took over from her father Philippe, who was involved in the estate for nearly 40 years. The family owns 4.5 hectares in the Premier Cru appellations, which are the heart and soul of the Domaine. They own approximately 18 hectares in total. In 1991, the Domaine became one of the very first certified organic producers in Chablis. All of the vineyards are farmed organically, and the wines are produced with restricted use of sulphur. The Goulley family believes the organic farming methods permit an expressive and sustainable soil. Their wines are mineral, pure and lively.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Philippe and Maud Goulley believe in the ethos of organic farming along with that of minimal intervention; all of their vineyards are certified organic. The double Guyot-trained vines are grown in Kimmeridgian soils, which are rich in clay and limestone, with fossilised sea-shells. The yields are kept to a maximum of 60 hectolitres per hectare.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were harvested at optimum maturity and were fermented with natural yeast in temperature-controlled vats using organic principles. Philippe believes in highlighting terroir, and he produces his wines in an unoaked style, allowing them to reveal the purity, minerality and vitality of the soil. A restricted use of sulphur was used during the vinification, and the wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling. It spent six months resting in stainless steel vats.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A refined and pure Chablis with pronounced citrus aromas, a light mineral character and a characteristic saline note. A good weight on the palate leads to a long finish with a delicious hint of almond. Classic Chablis.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Chardonnay 100%.
