    The wine

    The Chardonnay used to craft this Chablis premier cru enjoys south-westerly exposure in soils of Kimmeridgian chalk with a pebbly sub-soil. Around thirty years old, they have been cultivated organically since 1990 and biodynamically since 1999. The domain is thus dedicated to thorough growing, mainly seen in their work on the soil which is ploughed, ridging in the autumn, and deridging in the spring. Natural predators are kept, yields are limited, and infusions are used rather than synthetic products. The grapes are harvested by hand before a gentle vinification that begins with a slow pressing. The wine is matured for 7 to 8 months in vats.
    We recommend uncorking this wine within 8 years. It has a pale, yellow colour in the glass and delicate notes of citrus, white flowers, and vegetal hints. Frank, fruity, mineral, and persistent, this wine develops a touch of honey over time. It will pair nicely with crustaceans, an artichoke pizza, or an asparagus risotto.

    Information about domain Drouhin-Vaudon

    Have you already heard the name ‘Drouhin' somewhere? Domaine Drouhin-Vaudon is indeed the Chablis branch of the famous family domain Joseph Drouhin. Little known, it nonetheless takes up half of the property's total surface area at no less than 20 hectares. This separate entity is managed by the passionate Fabien Fayette. From petit Chablis to grands crus, we find the same, elegant fingerprint in all of the wines crafted here. Critics are full of praise for the domain's finest cuvées, counting the Preuses grand cru and the Vaudésir, lauding their depth and their potential for evolution. As for the viticulture, the domain converted to organic growing some time ago before developing biodynamic methods in 1998. This is, in fact, the biggest biodynamic domain in Chablis.
