A communal appellation harvested from the delimited parts of 17 Villages, including the village of Chablis. It covers 3712 hectares, making it the largest AOC in Burgundy. Chablis is characterised by its production of white wines only and by its strong geology, the main bedrock of which is Kimmeridgian. Chablis is planted on the hillsides on either side of the Serein valley, the peaceful river that runs through the Chablis region. Kimmeridgian limestone soil and subsoil / Slightly steep slopes / South-West exposure / Altitude 180 to 260 m.

The Chardonnay grape, also known as ‘Le Beaunois’ in the Chablis region, is the source of this lovely wine.

Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a long pneumatic pressing before static settling and alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts in stainless steel vats under temperature control at 18 to 20°C to preserve as much fruit as possible. Malolactic fermentation begins soon after the end of the alcoholic fermentation and is 100% complete in January. Aged on fine lees for 6 to 8 months, with regular stirring of the lees to bring the lees back into suspension and give the wine body and structure.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
