Winemaker Notes

An elegant wine. The color is brilliant, often tinged with green. The nose, characteristic of Chablis, reveals notes of citrus fruits (lemon), fern as well as iodized nuances. On the palate: vigor and nervousness, in the sweetness . Lots of finesse and balance.

Vineyard Notes

This wine comes from grapes exclusively harvested on the Drouhin Family Properties. These vineyards are mainly situated in the Valley of Vauvillien, not far from the Grand Crus, between the Premier Crus of Montée de Tonnerre and Mont de Milieu.

In the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.

The Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.
