Viticulture

Sustainable viticulture, soon to be HVE3 certified. From 0.7 ha of west / northwest-facing vineyards, average vine age 35 years

Terroir

The 35 yo vine grows on Kimmeridgian soil. This unique soil in Chablis dates back to the late Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago. It is characterized by a distinctive blend of limestone, clay, and fossilized marine organisms, particularly small oyster shells called Exogyra virgula. The high limestone content contributes to the vibrant acidity, minerality and the characteristic flinty, steely notes that define Chablis wines. The clay adds depth and complexity, allowing the wines to age gracefully.
