Domaine Colbois Chitry 2024

The village of Chitry-le-Fort lies just outside the famous wine region of Chablis. Like Chablis, the cool northerly climate and Kimmeridgian chalk soils combine to create one of the finest expressions of Chardonnay in Burgundy. The Colbois family has farmed here since the early 20th century — Michel and his son Benjamin now work the vines and soils manually, roots plunging deep into the chalk for a true expression of terroir. No chemicals, hand-harvested, aged on lees, bottled with little or no filtration. The domaine has received numerous citations in the French and international press.

About This Wine

Made from Chardonnay grown on the same Kimmeridgian chalk soils as Chablis, farmed to HVE certified standards. This is a wine of remarkable purity and freshness — the mineral character of the chalk soils shines through in every glass. A perfect partner for fine fish, shellfish, and light chicken dishes, and exceptional value for the quality on offer.
