Scritch - Cyprien Arlaud - Chablis 2024
With Scritch , Cyprien Arlaud , a renowned winemaker from Morey-Saint-Denis, presents a free and audacious collection focused on the purity of the fruit and the direct expression of Burgundy's terroirs. Drawing on his experience at the family estate, he applies the same exacting standards of precision and sincerity, while also exploring new viticultural horizons. This approach, both intuitive and rigorous, gives rise to vibrant, refined wines, deeply rooted in their origin.
The Scritch Chablis 2024 is a luminous interpretation of northern Chardonnay, cultivated on the characteristic limestone and marl slopes of Chablis. The natural and unadulterated vinification uses indigenous yeasts and is patiently aged in neutral tanks and barrels to preserve the tension and energy of the terroir. The balanced and harmonious 2024 vintage highlights the saline freshness and mineral finesse that are hallmarks of great Chablis.
On the nose, the wine expresses itself with beautiful intensity, offering notes of fresh lemon, green apple, and white flowers, enhanced by a touch of chalk and oyster shell. On the palate, the texture is precise, taut, and crystalline, enlivened by chiseled acidity and remarkable purity. The citrus and white fruit aromas linger on a mouthwatering, long, and mineral finish, marked by an elegant, briny bitterness.
The Scritch Chablis 2024 is a wine of precision and energy, best enjoyed now for its vibrant vivacity or cellared for three to five years to reveal its full complexity. It pairs perfectly with oysters, sea bass ceviche, sushi, or fresh goat cheese.
