Production areaLike Chablis appellation, the main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago). “Les Vaillons” covers a surface area of approximately 200 ha and is located to the south of the village of Chablis. “Premier Cru” is a distinction that is granted to certain vineyards where the wines have traditionally been considered to be of higher quality.
OriginsThis wine comes from the terroirs of Beugnon and Roncières. The average age of the vines is 45 years which allows an optimal concentration while keeping the characteristics of a fresh and balanced Chablis.
