Clement Lavallee Chablis 45 Degrees, Burgundy, France 2022

Chablis "45 Degrés" 2022 is a vibrant, terroir-driven Chardonnay that beautifully captures the purity and energy of Chablis. Named for the 45th parallel that runs through the region, this cuvée celebrates the unique climatic balance that allows Chardonnay to achieve exceptional freshness while developing remarkable depth. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards rooted in Chablis' famed Kimmeridgian limestone soils, the 2022 vintage offers expressive aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, citrus blossom, oyster shell, and crushed flint. The palate is crisp yet beautifully textured, with lively acidity, a core of ripe orchard fruit, and a pronounced chalky minerality that carries through a long, mouthwatering finish. Fermented and aged with a restrained touch that preserves freshness and transparency, "45 Degrés" is an elegant, food-friendly Chablis that pairs effortlessly with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, and creamy cheeses while delivering exceptional value for lovers of classic Burgundy.
