Located in the north of Burgundy, in Yonne department, the appellation stretches over 3,400 hectares around 20 communes covering the hillsides along the Serein river. The vineyard enjoys an exceptional geological situation inherited from the Jurassic era, more precisely the Kimmeridgean era (150 million years ago). Its main characteristic, which gives Chablis wines its unique taste, consists in deposits of tiny oysters (exogyra virgule) that remained when the sea withdrew from the place.

WINE MAKING
The juice is delicately extracted by a long pneumatic pressing. That ensure a juice of hight quality thanks to homogeneous extraction, safeguarding grapes integrity. Then it’s settled by natural decanting, also called static clarification. Alcohol fermentation is carried out in a stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (18 to 20°C) to preserve the fineness and the freshness of the Chardonnay. Once, when malolactic fermentation ends – in January - the wine is left to age in oak barrel and on fine lees for 6 months, with softs lees stirring to bring fullness and complexity to the wine
