Denis Race
Chablis
Domaine Denis Race has 18 hectares of enviable holdings, including 3 1er Crus with many vines aged up to 65 years. The 4th generation vigneronnes Claire and Marine Race produce mineral-inflected Chablis with great "cut" and intensity. Oak plays no part, the sisters intending to show a pure expression of their Chablis sites. A Petit Chablis from 2022 for $38! Really?
Cheers, Randall.
These wines are due to arrive at the end of next week!

2022 Denis Race Chablis
RRP: $62 | Offer: $44
As a young wine, from a vintage that put smiles on the Chablisiens faces, this AC Chablis has great intensity of pear, lemon, peach and gripping mineral flavours and aromas. The 2022 season had its fair share of challenges for the growers, but the grapes were harvested in perfect condition, and the resulting wines are super impressive in their deep flavours and fruit.

The Chablis 1er Cru Mont du Milieu from the right bank is situated just in front of the Grand Crus sites. Its fine, elegant and flinty / chalky mineral character combine with depth and good structure to give ageing potential of up to 10 years.
