Domaine Gautheron Chablis Organic Cuvée Emeraude 2021 is a pure, precise and beautifully crafted organic Chablis from one of the appellation’s most respected family domaines — mineral, fresh and built with the Kimmeridgian limestone character, citrus precision and cool-climate Chardonnay elegance that defines great Chablis at its most honest and expressive.

Domaine Gautheron is a family estate based in Fleys — one of Chablis’ most respected villages, known for its deep Kimmeridgian limestone soils that produce Chablis of exceptional mineral precision and purity. The Cuvée Emeraude is the domaine’s certified organic expression — farmed without synthetic pesticides or herbicides and crafted to deliver the purest possible expression of Chablis terroir, with nothing to mask the mineral character of the Kimmeridgian soils.

My Wine Man

This is for someone who wants a serious, terroir-driven organic Chablis from a family domaine at an exceptional price.

Organic Chablis of this quality is rare — the cool, damp Chablis climate makes organic farming genuinely challenging, and only the most committed and skilled producers can achieve it without compromising quality. Gautheron is one of those producers, and Cuvée Emeraude is the proof: a Chablis of extraordinary purity and mineral precision that over-delivers significantly at the price.

At HK$224, this is exceptional value for a certified organic Chablis of this quality and provenance — a wine that delivers genuine Kimmeridgian terroir and organic integrity at a very honest price.

In my view, this is one of the finest value organic Chablis available — pure, mineral and very complete.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about Kimmeridgian mineral purity and Gautheron’s organic farming philosophy.

Lemon, green apple, white peach and oyster shell sit at the core, with a deep chalk and flint mineral thread, subtle floral notes and the characteristic steely precision that defines great Chablis. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh natural acidity and a long, mineral, lingering finish that speaks directly to the Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Fleys.

The defining feature is the purity — organic farming delivers a clarity and precision of terroir expression that is immediately apparent, with the mineral character of the Kimmeridgian soils speaking directly through the wine without interference.

Pure, mineral and completely compelling.
