Origin

Located in the north of Burgundy, in Yonne department, the appellation stretches over around 20 communes that cover the hillsides running alongsidethe pretty Serein Valley. The vineyard enjoys an exceptional geological situation.

The main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago). Deposits of tiny oysters can still befound today in the rock, remains of a time where the sea was totally covering this territory.

This cuvée “Gloire de Chablis” is our tribute to the relics of Saint-Martin formerly protected and honored in the ancient Monastery of St-Loup in Chablis.

Vinification and maturing

This cuvée comes from organically-farmed vines in the commune of La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, whose soils provide an ideal water reserve for the vines, with a rich microbial life. The grapes ripen perfectly here.
- Slow pressing with juice separation,
- Light settling and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks,
- 20% of the cuvée is placed in barrels containing 3 to 4 wines for an 8 months ageing on the lees.

Vintage : 2024

The year 2024 in Chablis was marked by exceptionally wet weather, with rainfall exceeding the average by around 50%. From March onwards, the region suffered flooding due to the Serein river bursting its banks and record rainfall, followed by spring frosts in an already waterlogged environment. Hail also affected the vineyards, particularly on 1 May: nearly 2,000 hectares were partially or totally impacted. Flowering took place in unstable conditions, leading to coulure and millerandage, while mildew, encouraged by the humidity, weighed on the potential yield. The harvest began at the end of September, with considerable variation between plots. Despite these challenges, the first juices reveal a beautiful Chablis character, with marked tension, assertive minerality and invigorating aromas of fresh white fruit and citrus.
