Bekkers Petit Chablis 2023 x 6

Discover the Unique Qualities of Bekkers Petit Chablis 2023

Bekkers Wine is the winemaking project of respected 
viticulturist Toby Bekkers and his French born wife and 
winemaker Emmanuelle. It is no secret that they aspire for 
the Bekkers red wines to be a fine-wine emblem for McLaren 
Vale. 
2023 Bekkers Petit Chablis 
The McLaren Vale climate that so well suits Grenache and 
Shiraz limits our ability to produce a white wine of similar 
calibre. Since 2012 we have made our white wine in 
Chablis, France for release in Australia. It’s a great excuse 
for Emmanuelle to return to her native home and her love of 
Chardonnay from Burgundy. 
While I appreciate a glass (or maybe a bottle) of Meursault 
‘Charmes’, Puligny Montrachet ‘Les Combettes’ or a good 
Rully from La Cote Chalonnaise; it’s the purity of 
Chardonnay from Chablis that most captures my attention. I 
wanted our white wine offering to reflect a sense of this 
special place: purity and clarity.”

Chardonnay for the Bekkers Petit Chablis is harvested from 
the plateau behind the village of Beines. The grapes are 
pressed within an hour of harvest to a stainless-steel 
fermenter. The juice is cold-settled and racked clear within 
48 hours. Natural fermentation at cold temperatures is 
followed by natural malolactic fermentation. The wine spent 
3 months on fine lees without any agitation before bottling.

Wine style objective: Freshness, zippy citrus acidity, 
minerality. Lifted aromas of white flowers, citrus zest and 
apple supported by middle-palate softness. Freshness with a 
lightness that compliments flavours of lime or grapefruit zest. 
It finishes with the signature stony minerality of the Chablis 
terroir.  
2023 was a warmer vintage with a large potential yield 
which required careful mitigation. Those that contained 
production in the vineyard produced generous, ripe wines 
that still retain some of the essential “Chablis minerality and 
acidity”.  
The warmer season has resulted in a 2023 Petit Chablis that 
combines classic mineral tension with added generosity and 
texture. Terrific drinking for an Australian summer.
