Pascal Bouchard Chablis Le Classique 2023 is a pure, stainless‑steel‑raised Chardonnay from the cool northern slopes of Chablis, shimmering pale straw in the glass with that sea‑spray lift you want from the region. This Pascal Bouchard Le Classique Chablis 2023 is all about clarity, tension and minerality over oak.

The nose is highly expressive with lemon, grapefruit and sliced green apple, subtle pear, white florals and distinctly saline notes evocative of sea air, leading into a chalky, flinty edge. The palate is medium‑bodied, fresh and balanced, showing lemon pith, green apple and understated stone fruit wrapped around a creamy‑lees texture, chalky mineral spine and a long, lightly briny finish.

Chablis Le Classique 2023 is a natural with oysters, prawns, shellfish, sashimi and simply grilled white fish, but also shines with goat’s cheese and lemon‑herb roast chicken, drinking beautifully now and over the next three to four years.
