Presentation
"Les Beugnons" is a Premier Cru located on the left bank of the Serein river. The wines from this Climat may also bear the name "Vaillons" which is the name of the flag-bearing Climat they fall under. We have chosen to retain the original name due to the unique typicity of our plot.
The very white soil and the extremely favourable exposure of our plot, in an area that is protected by the presence of numerous trees, yield mineral wines with ripe, rich aromas and flavours.
"Les Beugnons" remains one of the rarities of Chablis.
