Domaine George is a family estate in Courgis with an unusual history: David George's grandfather came to Courgis as a prisoner during the Second World War — he was from the Ardennes, which the Germans held to be German-speaking territory, and since he spoke no German they sent him there — stayed on, and began producing wine in the 1940s; his son Michel worked under cooperative contract until 1997 before going independent, and today three generations work side by side — Michel alongside sons David and Jonathan — across 16.5 hectares. Les Beauregards is a Premier Cru climat on the left bank of the Serein river, with a south-facing exposure and shallow Kimmeridgian clay-marl soils on a slope steep enough to make tractors unviable; Michel George assembled this parcel between 1988 and 1989, purchasing it from five separate owners and replanting from scratch. 100% Chardonnay.

The wine is made entirely in stainless steel with no oak at any stage, using indigenous yeasts and ageing on the lees without filtration.

Wine Identification
Beauregard 2023 is a white wine produced by Domaine George, located in the Chablis region of Burgundy, France. The specific appellation is Chablis Premier Cru, and the wine originates from the Les Beauregards vineyard site.

Origin and Winemaking
Domaine George operates from Courgis, with three generations—Michel, David, and Jonathan—managing 16.5 hectares of vines together. The estate’s history is unique; David George’s grandfather was a prisoner of war from the Ardennes who settled in Courgis during World War II and began winemaking in the 1940s. Michel initially bottled through a cooperative before establishing his independent estate in 1997.

The Les Beauregards Premier Cru vineyard is situated on the left bank of the Serein River with a southern exposure. The soils are shallow Kimmeridgian, characterized by stony, well-drained calcareous marl. The steep slope necessitates manual viticulture throughout. Michel George consolidated and replanted this parcel between 1988 and 1989, acquiring it from five different owners.

The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay. Vinification occurs entirely in stainless steel tanks with no contact with wood at any stage. Native yeasts are used for fermentation, and the wine undergoes lees aging without filtration.

Tasting Profile
As a white Burgundy from Chablis Premier Cru, this 2023 vintage reflects the region’s characteristic Kimmeridgian terroir. The unwooded stainless steel vinification highlights primary fruit purity and mineral structure, while the lees aging adds texture and complexity without imparting oak flavors.

Overall Character
Beauregard 2023 represents a traditional, unadulterated expression of Chablis Premier Cru. It is defined by its manual viticulture on steep slopes, shallow limestone soils, and a winemaking approach that prioritizes natural fermentation and preservation of varietal integrity through the absence of filtration and oak influence.

Learn more about Domaine George

Les Beauregards was the Germans' firing range during the Second World War. Today it is their Premier Cru.

David George's grandfather arrived in Courgis during that war, as a prisoner, and stayed: in the 1940s he began making wine.

His son Michel bottled under contract with the cooperative until he went independent in 1997. Today Michel works alongside his sons David and Jonathan.

Les Beauregards is a Premier Cru climat on the left bank of the river Serein, south-facing, with shallow Kimmeridgian soils — stony, well-drained clay-marl — on a slope steep enough that no tractor can work it and everything is done by hand. Michel put the parcel together by buying it from five separate owners between 1988 and 1989, and replanted it from scratch.

The wine is made entirely in stainless steel, with no oak contact at any stage, using indigenous yeasts and ageing on the lees. It is bottled unfiltered.
