Origins

Chablis, situated near Auxerre in the Yonne department, is among the northernmost vineyards of Burgundy. The appellation has 40 climats classified as premiers crus, including 17 main ones.

Located on the left bank of the Serein river, in the southwest of the Chablis region, the 105 hectares of Premier Cru Vaillons vines enjoy particularly favourable exposure and the wines are well deserving of their excellent reputation.

Latin provides the answer: etymologically, vallis or valles mean "a large space between two areas". Spelled "Valion" in a document dating from 1429, Vaillons ultimately derives its name from this notion of small valley.
