Located on the prestigious hillside of the Grands Crus, in the heart of the Vaulorent climat - the only Premier Cru to share this exceptional terroir - this Chablis 2022 impresses with its brilliance and precision. The nose opens with a pure, refined expression of fresh green apple and ripe pear, underlined by subtle nuances of gunflint and damp limestone that reveal themselves with aeration.

The palate seduces with its remarkable balance, vibrant tension and controlled concentration. Fine acidity weaves the wine's thread, offering an elegant structure and a persistent, highly complex finish.

This Vaulorent illustrates the full potential of this exceptional climat, often considered one of the closest in style and stature to the Grands Crus. Full-bodied, mineral and layered, it delivers a sophisticated, racy interpretation of Chablisien. With only 2.2 hectares of vines, this confidential cuvée embodies the quintessence of the Vaulorent terroir.

Vinification and ageing for 12 months: 15% in (new) barrels and 85% in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. After blending, ageing continues on fine lees for 6 months (approx.); the wine is then bottled after very light filtration, and stored in our air-conditioned cellars before release.

Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is the most emblematic expression of our estate. Our vines, over 30 years old, are planted on southwest-facing slopes, on clay-limestone soils rich in Kimmeridgian marine fossils (oestrea virgula). Located right on the border of the Grands Crus, our 2.20-hectare parcels benefit from an exceptional terroir, considered one of the most prestigious and unique in the Chablis Premier Cru appellation.
