Producer

Producer

Supply: partly from grapes from the Drouhin Family Properties, but also from purchases of grapes and musts from partner producers according to a rigorous set of specifications. Harvesting: by hand into openwork crates. Careful sorting if necessary. Winemaking: Slow pressing of whole bunches in a pneumatic press. The last pressing juice is separated from the free-run juice. The juices ferment in stainless steel tanks after light settling. Aging: in vats for 10 to 12 months. Throughout the process, decisions are primarily based on tastings. This data is naturally supplemented by technical analyses. As with all the wines of the House, absolute priority is given to expressing the terroir and respecting the vintage character.

Owner and history

THE Domaine Drouhin-Vaudon is owned by the Drouhin family, a family of Burgundian winemakers passionate about their craft. Drawing on their heritage and expertise, they have created a domaine exceptional in Chablis, combining tradition and modernity.

Vinification and aging

The site: very close to Chablis, on the southwest side. It is classified among the seven Premiers Crus of Chablis due to its excellent exposure and the concentration of Kimmeridgian pebbles in the subsoil, which gives the wines their very recognizable typicity.

History & tradition: In the 1960s, when the Chablis vineyards were largely abandoned, Robert Drouhin believed in the potential of this soil, ravaged a century earlier by phylloxera. He was among the first Burgundian owners to develop it, producing wines typical of their terroir of origin.

The soil: Kimmeridgian limestone containing billions of tiny marine fossils in a whitish cement that must have been the ocean floor... hundreds of millions of years ago. This marine origin gives Chablis wines a unique flavor.
