This is classic Chablis with its collar popped and confidence to spare. Bright citrus, green apple, and a whisper of white flowers glide over a spine of pure limestone minerality. The palate is taut yet graceful, offering notes of lemon zest, oyster shell, and wet stone - that unmistakable Chablis signature. Fresh, linear, and quietly luxurious, it’s a wine that doesn’t need to shout to be heard; its precision speaks volumes.

For when: You’re craving something clean, crisp, and quietly classy.
Pairs with: Oysters, tempura prawns, or a Sunday roast chicken.
If this wine were: A white linen shirt, effortlessly chic, never out of place.

Founded in the 1980s and now run by Jean’s son Philippe, Domaine Jean Goulley has become one of the most respected small estates in Chablis. Their vineyards, including prized parcels in Montmains and Fourchaume, are farmed sustainably, with minimal intervention to highlight the purity of fruit and the limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils that define the region. The 2022 vintage, marked by generous sunshine balanced by cool nights, gave beautifully ripe yet mineral wines — a perfect showcase of Goulley’s trademark precision and elegance.
