Situation
Sélection très précise des parcelles sur les coteaux frais. Sols de marnes argilo-calcaires du Kimméridgien au coeur desquels le calcaire est constellé de petites huîtres en forme de virgule de quelques millimètres appelées Exogyra Virgula. Ce sol remarquable donne toute son originalité aux vins de Chablis et leur confère leur minéralité spécifique. La position septentrionale de ce vignoble et les nuits fraîches préservent l’acidité des raisins, apportant une jolie tension aux vins.

Philosophy
Offering a contemporary interpretation
It is from the sum of their vocations, their know-how and their passions that this desire to create their own interpretation of one of the most famous fresh and mineral wines in the world was born. In their quest for absolute purity, Laurent and Dominique have often selected shaded north-facing plots as well as the misty slopes with Kimmeridgian clay-limestone marl soil.
It is this typical ‘cool terroir’character that they seek to allow them to craft singular, lively wines.

The expression of teamwork
Dominique and Laurent inherited the family culture of celebrating the wines of Burgundy and the love of precision winemaking from their forefathers. Their individual paths, which have always crossed, followed and nurtured each other, have now converged in a common vision: to select grapes from specifically identified terroirs that Dominique oversees with partner winegrowers who share their vision of viticulture.
