Why it matters
The producer
Domaine des Beaumonts appears on two white wines, Chablis and Petit Chablis. Chablis and Petit Chablis are appellation names, while the grape variety behind these bottles is not identified. The Petit Chablis wine ferments with local natural yeast, followed by storage in steel tank, with 20% aged for 12 months in oak.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The labels give two Chablis appellation names, Chablis and Petit Chablis, but no village or vineyard is identified for either wine. The only stated location belongs to a singular Domaine des Beaumont in Morey St.Denis, so it cannot be assigned to the plural Domaine des Beaumonts without further confirmation. The geographic origin behind these two Chablis labels remains unspecified.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range contains two white wines, Chablis and Petit Chablis, under the Domaine des Beaumonts name. The Petit Chablis has fresh fruit and white flower aromas, with mineral character taking precedence. The two bottles therefore differ through their appellation names, while the available tasting profile belongs to Petit Chablis.
