Vincent Mothe - Chablis 2022

 Guy Mothe built up his successful domaine in Fontenay-pres-Chablis by starting with a small parcel he inherited and acquiring additional small parcels of land that came up for sale over the years. Today the domaine is run by Guy`s son, Vincent, and the style remains unchanged. Vincent's take on Chablis is always unoaked with an emphasis on minerality and purity.

“It is all simplicity and no fuss. The Mothes are a farming as well as a viticultural family, also raise cattle, have wheat and other crops. The viticulture is sustainable, and the vinification lucid and simple with a beautifully organized and very modern winery. They have close to thirty hectares of vines; vinify their parcels of Chablis villages to the taste of their customers. The Chablis is raised in impeccable stainless steel tanks – cleanliness in the winery is very important for this Domaine. The winery is kept at a cool temperature. Russell and I met them at a Beaune wine and cheese event and were delighted with the clarity of the appellations.” - Becky Wasserman

After inheriting a small parcel of vines in Fontenay-pres-Chablis, Vincent Mothe found his passion for simple farming and sustainable viticulture. Now headed by Vincent’s son Guy, Mothe’s 30 hectares are used to create clean and mineral-driven wines marked by bright acidity and zesty texture. This steel-aged Chablis shows crisp flavors of green apple, orange skin, chalk, and lime, marked by razor-sharp acidity and a clean finish.
