Region: Burgundy, France (Chablis AOC / Préhy)
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Body: Light to Medium

Pairing: Oysters on the half shell, seared scallops, goat cheese crostini, continuous charcuterie boards, or grilled trout
The Producer
Domaine Bardet & Fils is a rising-star, family-run estate based in Noyers-sur-Serein, with key vineyard holdings rooted in the Kimmeridgian-rich soils of Préhy in the southern Chablis district. Managed by cousins Alexandre and Damien Bardet, the estate represents a modern evolution of their family's long agricultural history in the Yonne region. The Bardets practice sustainable, low-intervention farming, keeping their yields low to accentuate pure varietal expression and regional character. In the cellar, they champion a clean, energetic winemaking ethos: fermenting entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to avoid oak influence, allowing the natural electric tension and mineral-laden depth of Chablis terroir to take center stage.
The Wine
The 2025 Chablis from Domaine Bardet & Fils is a brilliantly focused, textbook expression of cool-climate Chardonnay. Sourced from mature vines planted on limestone-and-clay slopes in Préhy, the hand-picked fruit is gently pressed and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Aged on its fine lees over the winter to develop subtle textural weight while maintaining its crisp natural acidity, the wine is bottled with minimal handling. The 2025 vintage captures pristine northern Burgundian energy; it masterfully pairs a vibrant bouquet of green orchard fruits, citrus peel, and white blossoms with a chalky mineral spine, laser-sharp acidity, and a thirst-quenching, saline-driven finish.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
