Presentation
in the northern part of Burgundy, not far from the town of Auxerre, the Chablis appellation stretches across over a dozen kilometres around the village of the same name.
It was the monks at the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny who first planted vines in the region.
The vines are planted on rather gentle slopes (5 to 20%) where they benefit from different exposures. The grapes that go into the production of this wine hail from a mosaic of varied terroirs, which lends it lovely complexity.
