SÉBASTIEN CHRISTOPHE

Sébastien Christophe is a brilliant young winemaker and a one-man show making big waves in the Burgundy scene. His success has come completely by word of mouth, and with the exception of a few top restaurants in Paris, it is almost impossible to find his wines anywhere in France as he exports almost everything he makes. Sebastien’s family has roots in Chablis, and he got his start when he was gifted a tiny parcel of Petit Chablis. He has since steadily added vineyards and new bottlings to his portfolio and today has three premier crus on the right bank of the Serein river. Farming is organic, yields are very low and his winemaking is pretty hands-off, with indigenous yeast fermentation in stainless steel, allowing the terroir to shine through. Stylistically his wines are very old school Chablis, concentrated but mineral and nervy. He looks for elegance, length, purity and minerality in his wines and has extremely exacting standards, resulting in a quality that is just sensational. Absolutely one of the most exciting winemakers we’ve encountered.

 Winemaker Notes

The wines of Domaine Christophe all display classic Chablis notes of shells and green apples on the nose, along with a pretty, underlying hint of white flower and lemon. It's the kind of bright nose that gives the drinker an intimation of the acidity and tension that will follow on the palate, which is indeed nervy but also generous with an appealing balance of flavours offset by a rocky, shell-y harmony. The wine finishes with the sort of mouth-coating minerality and mouth-watering citrusy acidity that makes Chablis a favourite amongst lovers of wines that truly reflect their terroir. 

The wine opens up with the classic bouquet of Chablis wines on the nose - freshly struck flint and wet stone notes. Fresh, Crisp, yet savory attack with great fruits balanced by a blend of acidity and minerality over a long and clean finish. Delicious paired with raw oysters or enjoyed just by itself as an aperitif.

 A seriously good, proper Chablis grown on precious Kimmeridgian soil facing Les Blanchots, west of Montée de Tonnerre. The complexity and depth to this wine is seriously impressive with an exquisite floral lift with irresistible fragrance and gorgeous texture. An elegant, racy and age - worthy 1er cru Chablis.

Fourchaume is one of the most famous climates in Chablis with west/southwest sunny terroir, where the grapes ripen well. Complex and super intense, distinguishing itself from the rest of the region with its elegance, finesse and roundness. It’s textbook 1er cru Chablis that slowly unveils incredible depth and sophistication in the glass. Made from mostly brown clay soil that drains well and runs incredibly deep to the roots, this has an incredible combo of pineapple, grapefruit, chalky minerality, wildflower, and granny smith apple that continue to unfold with time in the glass.

An attractive nose of citrus rind, white flowers, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is racy and mineral with just a touch of salinity. The hallmark of the great 2022s will be tension and length and Sébastien’s little wine has both in spades. Incredible acidic cut will make this fantastic at the table and a great candidate for short term aging.
