Unique characteristics

The vineyard can be found mainly around the village of Chichée in the Yonne. The hilly part of the vineyard is sheltered from the cold winds blowing off the Plateau de Langres and enjoys a favourable microclimate. This Chablis terroir is renowned for adding a great deal of freshness, elegance and distinction to our wines.

A Word from the Vineyard Manager

"All our Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. We do not put our wines in barrels, the aim being to produce wines that retain all their freshness, resulting in the purest expression of the Chardonnay grape. Every operation is done by gravity in order to respect the grape and interfere as little as possible, so as to preserve the characteristics of the terroir."
