France, Burgundy, Chablis

Winery Overview
A family story above all.
As far back as we go back in family history, the Ellevins have always worked the vineyard.
It was in 1975 that Jean-Pierre developed the Domaine and specialized in the vinification of Chablis, dedicating it to Chardonnay.
After his studies and various trips around the world, his son Alexandre, the fourth generation, joined the farm in 2003 to take care of winemaking. The quest for quality allows us to offer you an exceptional range of Great Wines. The estate is headquartered in Chichée, south-east of Chablis, and the 16 ha of vines extend over both banks of the Serein.
The estate is headquartered in the village of Chichée, south-east of Chablis.

Vines range from 25-60 years old. Kimeridgian limestone clay.
