Domaine Orion Chablis 2023
Experience the vibrant essence of Chablis with the 2023 vintage from Domaine Orion, a dynamic and exciting estate helmed by the talented Léa Schaller. Léa represents the third generation of her family to farm vines in Préhy. Since taking the reins in 2019, she has dedicated herself to crafting pure, expressive Chablis, moving beyond simply selling grapes to the co-op.
This wine is a testament to her meticulous vineyard practices (herbicides were eliminated in 2022) and thoughtful winemaking, utilizing indigenous yeasts and aging exclusively in stainless steel to preserve the true character of the Kimmeridgian terroir.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: A brilliant, pale gold with a subtle green tint, showcasing its youthful freshness.
- Aroma: The nose is immediately inviting, bursting with classic Chablis hallmarks. Expect crisp green apple, zesty lemon and lime citrus, and the unmistakable minerality of wet stone and oyster shell. There's a delicate underlying hint of white flowers and a touch of saline freshness that speaks to its Kimmeridgian origins.
- Flavor: On the palate, the wine is wonderfully precise and invigorating. A vibrant acidity drives a core of lemon curd and green apple, beautifully interwoven with pronounced flinty minerality. It’s lean and focused, yet offers a surprising succulence that balances the characteristic Chablis tension.
- Finish: The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of briny salinity and a subtle chalky texture.
The 2023 vintage, characterized by its aromatic intensity and balanced acidity, truly allows Domaine Orion's Chablis to shine. This is a wine that epitomizes the "old-school," pure Chablis style—perfect for pairing with oysters, shellfish, or simply enjoying as a refreshing aperitif.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
