More questions
The Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru from Domaine Hamelin is an excellent expression of the unique terroir of Chablis, which is world-renowned for its ability to produce white wines of extraordinary finesse and complexity. Located in the Burgundy region of France, the vineyard stretches across clay-limestone slopes, where the Kimmeridgian soil is rich in marine fossils, imparting very characteristic mineral notes to this wine.
This wine is vinified exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, carefully selected to ensure an intense aromatic profile. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet with vibrant aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as apple and pear, with a touch of citrus and floral hints, combined with a subtle mineral streak typical of Chablis. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel containers help maintain and enhance the freshness and purity of the fruit.
On the palate, the Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru is rich and refined, with excellent acid balance adding vitality and length to the tasting experience. Its structure is well-defined, with a lingering finish that brings back the mineral sensations and the freshness of the citrus.
Ideal as an aperitif, this wine pairs wonderfully with seafood, oysters, or lightly sauced fish dishes. It is also an excellent choice to accompany fresh goat cheeses, thanks to its ability to complement the richness of the cheese with its lively acidity.
A wine that can be enjoyed immediately, but also offers aging potential due to its structure and complexity. The Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru from Domaine Hamelin represents a prestigious addition to any selection of high-quality French white wines.

The story
The Hamelin family's presence in the Chablis vineyards dates back to the 19th century; the estate developed over time, passing from generation to generation until Thierry Hamelin, now joined by his son Charles. Over the years the property has expanded to become a local point of reference in the Lignorelles/Beines/Poinchy area, while retaining its family character and a commitment to viticultural tradition.
Production philosophy
The domaine states an approach aimed at preserving the typicity of the terroir: measured viticulture, soil care with ploughing and cover crops on some parcels, and controlled vinifications to preserve the aromatic purity of the Chardonnay. The objective is to translate the characteristics of the Kimmeridgian into fresh, mineral wines with good structure.
Terroir and vineyards
Vines located in the Chablis area, with parcels in the communes of Lignorelles, Beines and Poinchy; Kimmeridgian limestone-clay soils typical of the appellation, with favorable exposures for some parcels classified Premier Cru.
