Sébastien Christophe Chablis is a classic expression of unoaked Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, produced by rising Chablis grower Sébastien Christophe. Working with sustainably farmed vineyards around the village of Chablis, Christophe has developed a reputation for precise, terroir-driven wines that emphasise freshness, minerality and purity of fruit.

Chablis is one of the world’s most distinctive white wine regions, known for Chardonnay grown on ancient Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilised marine sediment. These chalk-heavy soils contribute the region’s signature mineral character and bright acidity. 

Unlike heavily oaked New World Chardonnay, Sébastien Christophe’s Chablis focuses on clarity and tension. Fermentation and ageing are typically carried out in stainless steel to preserve freshness and vineyard expression rather than adding overt oak influence.

On the nose, expect aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white flowers and wet stone minerality. The palate is crisp and linear with citrus fruit, orchard fruit and saline chalk notes carried by vibrant acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

The wine balances approachable fruit with classic Chablis precision, making it both easy-drinking and highly food friendly. It is especially well suited to seafood, oysters, white fish, goat’s cheese and lighter poultry dishes.

Sébastien Christophe has become increasingly respected among Burgundy enthusiasts for producing excellent-value Chablis with authentic regional character and minimal intervention in the cellar.

A benchmark modern Chablis that captures the freshness and mineral identity of the region beautifully.
