Terroir

The 35 years old 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.
