Domaine Fillon, Chablis 1er Cru 'Les Beauregards', 2020

ABOUT THE WINE

Domaine Fillon & Fils is a fourth-generation, family-owned estate in the heart of Chablis, with a long-standing commitment to crafting quality-driven wines from prime vineyard sites. Owning their own parcels across the appellation, the Fillon family produces authentic, terroir-expressive Chablis that showcase both heritage and precision. Their 2020 Chablis 1er Cru 'Les Beauregards' is a standout example of the estate’s philosophy — rich, mineral, and vibrant.

TASTING NOTES

Sourced from 35-year-old vines planted on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, this Premier Cru Chablis offers exceptional depth and value. Aged on fine lees for added texture and complexity, the wine reveals aromas of green apple skin, preserved lemon, and almond, with layers of kaffir lime, sour pineapple, and a creamy yoghurt-like roundness. A perfect marriage of mineral freshness and ripe fruit from a top site in the 2020 vintage.

FOOD PAIRING

Ideal with seared wild scallops, raw oysters with shallot mignonette, or a goat’s cheese and anchovy salad. The wine’s minerality and citrus profile cut beautifully through rich seafood and salty cheeses.

FRIARWOOD SAYS

Domaine Fillon is so deeply rooted in Chablis that they even grow Pinot Noir, a rare sight in this region. Their Premier Cru wines like 'Les Beauregards' deliver both elegance and complexity — a compelling expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ finest terroirs.
