Description
Intensément 2023 from Baudouin Millet is a classic Chablis crafted from 100% Chardonnay, grown on the region’s renowned Kimmeridgian limestone soils. These fossil-rich soils are key to the identity of Chablis, imparting the distinctive minerality and tension that define the appellation. This cuvée lives up to its name by offering a more focused and expressive interpretation of the style.
The 2023 vintage opens with a vibrant aromatic profile, combining notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, alongside subtle hints of white flowers and a characteristic flinty edge. On the palate, the wine is crisp and precise, driven by a bright acidity that gives it energy and length. The texture remains lean and elegant, with a pronounced mineral backbone that carries through to a long, clean, and saline finish.
Baudouin Millet, based in Chablis, continues a family tradition of crafting wines that reflect the purity of their terroir. With a focus on careful vineyard work and minimal intervention in the cellar, the estate aims to preserve freshness, clarity, and balance in every cuvée.
Intensément 2023 is an ideal companion to oysters, shellfish, and grilled fish, but also pairs beautifully with goat’s cheese or light poultry dishes. It can be enjoyed in its youthful, vibrant phase or kept for a few years to develop additional complexity and subtle honeyed notes.
