Presentation
At the heart of the Grand Crus sector, the Vaudésirs valley is a textbook example of the geology and history of Chablis' vineyards and bears witness to the erosion that followed the last ice age.
Our plot is located on abrupt slopes with full southern exposure, which gives the vines high levels of regular sunshine. Here, Kimmeridgian outcrops are very numerous, which is expressed in the wines particularly pronounced minerality.
