🌟 A precise and powerful Chablis—mineral, layered, and beautifully age-worthy.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with green reflections—bright and crystalline.

👃 On the Nose:
Elegant and intense. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, oyster shell, and flint are accented by delicate floral notes and a subtle saline edge.

👅 On the Palate:
Tense and textured. A core of citrus and orchard fruit is wrapped in a chiselled mineral frame, with a creamy mid-palate from old vine concentration and gentle lees ageing. The finish is long, pure, and refreshingly saline.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with oysters, grilled langoustines, roast chicken with tarragon, or creamy goat cheese. A natural match for refined, mineral-driven dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Superb now for its clarity and energy, but will evolve beautifully over 8–12 years, gaining richness and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
'L’Homme Mort' from Le Domaine d’Henri is a masterful 1er Cru—classic Chablis with depth, finesse, and unmistakable terroir. A white Burgundy of elegance and lasting impact.
