Overview
The Domaine Testut Chablis Vieilles Vignes is an exceptional expression of Chablis that captures the true essence of the region's rich heritage and unique terroir. Produced from 50-year-old vines grown in the historic heart of Chablis, adjacent to the renowned Blanchots Grand Cru, this wine delivers more than the usual village-level Chablis. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, the vineyard is situated on the finest limestone soils of the region, which contributes to the wine’s characteristic mineral freshness and complexity. The estate, founded by Philippe Testut in 1967, is now run by his son Cyril, ensuring the continued legacy of producing wines that reflect the region's cool climate and time-honoured winemaking traditions.

On the nose, it offers ripe peach and apricot aromas, layered with the classic mineral notes typical of Chablis. The palate is medium-bodied, presenting a vibrant acidity and a generous mouthfeel that envelops the taste buds with a round, harmonious profile. Flavours of stone fruit and citrus are accompanied by subtle hints of lime zest and a distinct chalky minerality. The wine’s finish is long and satisfying, leaving an impression of elegance and refinement. This Chablis pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, such as oysters, scallops, or grilled fish, making it a perfect choice for seafood lovers.
