From two small plots totalling 0.81 hectares, planted in 1971 and 1991, this 1er Cru lies on the higher, steeper, rockier slopes of Vaillons, facing southeast. With vines averaging 40 years of age, this site produces wines that Edouard Vocoret describes as “riper, warmer and spicy,” showcasing the signature of the Vaillons hill.

Oyster brine and sweet ocean spray colour delicate white florals and white peach. Palate is creamy and seductive in texture, rounded with sweet nectar-like fruit, yet it has restraint and wonderful composure. It ends with creme anglaise and white peach. Yum!

A nose with notes of mineral reduction, acacia and plenty of Chablis typicity… delineated and utterly delicious middle weight flavors… excellent depth and persistence on the markedly dry but not especially austere finale… a Châtains of finesse. OUTSTANDING
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
