Chablis Réserve du Domaine 2022, Domaine Mosnier
Pale golden yellow with a fresh, floral nose of spring blossoms, lemon zest, and pear, layered with almond and vanilla from light oak aging. The palate is tight and vibrant at first, then gains roundness on the mid palate with fine lees texture and a long, saline finish that echoes citrus and subtle caramel. This special Réserve cuvée represents Mosnier’s richer expression of Chablis, crafted from old vines and partially aged in seasoned Burgundian oak. The term “Réserve” is not an official classification in Chablis but a producer’s selection that highlights extra depth, texture, and old-vine concentration. It bridges the tension of classic Chablis with the texture and polish of a light Premier Cru.
