The Descombes family's Domaine Passy le Clou has rocketed up the Chablis rankings since taking the reins in 2017, and the Beauroy 1er Cru is one of their headline bottlings. Beauroy sits on the left bank of the Serein on steep, dry, Kimmeridgian slopes that force the vines to work for it. The wine is built accordingly: deeply expressive aromatics of hawthorn and acacia, a round and ripe mid-palate, and a long, stony finish. 2023 was a warm, generous vintage in Chablis, and this captures the year's flesh without losing the cool-climate cut.
