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.

Beauregard 2023 es un blanco producido por el Domaine George, una bodega con sede en Courgis que cuenta con tres generaciones trabajando juntas (Michel, David y Jonathan) sobre 16,5 hectáreas. El abuelo de David llegó a Courgis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y empezó a elaborar vino en los años 40; su hijo Michel se independizó de la cooperativa en 1997.

El vino procede de la denominación Chablis 1er Cru, específicamente de la parcela Les Beauregards. Situado en la margen izquierda del río Serein, este clima presenta una exposición sur y suelos kimmeridgienses poco profundos, compuestos por marga calcárea pedregosa y bien drenada. La ladera es pronunciada, lo que exige una labor vitícola enteramente manual; Michel George reunió y replantó esta parcela entre 1988 y 1989 adquiriéndola a cinco propietarios diferentes. La uva empleada es 100% Chardonnay.

En cuanto a la elaboración, el proceso se realiza íntegramente en acero inoxidable, sin contacto con madera en ninguna fase. La fermentación se lleva a cabo con levaduras autóctonas, y el vino finaliza su crianza sobre lías sin realizar filtración, manteniendo la pureza del carácter varietal.

Se trata de un vino joven, sin crianza en barrica, que busca reflejar la expresión directa de su terruño y la técnica de vinificación minimalista del Domaine George.

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.
