Domaine Jean Goulley

2022 Petit Chablis, Domaine Jean Goulley

Burgundy, FranceVintage: 2019

Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter Maud. The Domaine is well regarded for their mineral style of Chablis’s that have a purity and vivacity that pays homage to the Chablis of the past.

2020 is a very fine vintage which is not easy to compare to other years. Although the grapes ripened very early in the year, the dry weather and absence of heat spikes meant that grape quality and health was exceptional.   It has been described as ‘a very classic vintage’ and very different from 2018 and 2019.   Many producers have described it as the best since 2014!

In the glass, this 2020 Petit Chablis is clean, fresh and appealing, with ripe crunchy green apple fruit and crisp acid keeping everything vibrant. An early drinking Petit Chablis that  will give a lot of pleasure over the next 3-5 years.

Maud and her family believe in the ethos of organic farming along with that of minimal intervention; all of their vineyards are farmed organically. The vineyard is situated on the left bank of the River Sereine, where the vines are planted with an easterly orientation at an average altitude of 210 metres. The double Guyot trained vines are between 25 to 30 years old and are grown in Kimmeridgian soils, which are rich in clay and limestone with fossilised seashells. There is also the presence of Cailloux, large pebbles which help to promote ripening by absorbing the heat of the day and then radiating it at night. The vines are planted to a density of 5,700 vines per hectare and yields are kept to a maximum of 60 hectolitres per hectare. At Domaine Jean Goulley, they believe in highlighting terroir and produce their wines in an unoaked style, allowing them to reveal the purity, minerality and vitality of the soil.

Description

Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter Maud. In January 2022, Maud took over from her father Philippe, who was involved in the estate for nearly 40 years. The family owns 4.5 hectares in the Premier Cru appellations, which are the heart and soul of the Domaine. They own approximately 18 hectares in total. In 1991, the Domaine became one of the very first certified organic producers in Chablis. All of the vineyards are farmed organically and the wines are produced with restricted use of sulphur. The Goulley family believes the organic farming methods permit expressive and sustainable soil. Their wines are mineral, pure and lively.

The grapes were harvested at optimum maturity and were fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats using organic principles and natural yeasts. The wine was left on its lees to impart more texture and body. Made in an unoaked style, to retain the purity of fruit and to let the characteristics of the terroir shine through. Restricted use of sulphur was used during the vinification and the wine was lightly filtered, prior to bottling.
