Christophe et Fils

Christophe et Fils

The Domaine Christophe or Christophe et Fils, although only 9 years old this quaint Domaine began with vines Sebastien Christophe inherited by his Grandfather. The Domaine and its vineyards can be found in the commune of Fyé, across the river from the town of Chablis. The hills are steep here and overlook Les Clos, Blanchots and Montee de Tonnerre. Despite being such a young estate, the quality and exacting nature of Sebastien’s work has meant that his wines are eagerly sought out (and quickly sold out) despite him being completely unknown by the media. His success has come completely by word of mouth, and of course through the fantastic quality of his wines. Every aspect of Christophe et Fils’s viticulture and vinification is thought out and effected with precision. There is nuance and fine detail in these wines that pleases the toughest connoisseurs and they are nicely concentrated thanks to Sebastien's understanding of the importance of low yields. 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. This estate is one of our best discoveries! A brilliant young winemaker well worth a bottle or 12!
