Petit Chablis
Limestone plateaus of Beine — 5 hectares
Profile & tasting
A pale robe with bright highlights, luminous and crystalline. The nose is fine and delicate, marked by notes of fresh citrus, lifted by a touch of white flowers and a subtle mineral nuance evoking freshly cut stone. On the palate, a lively, precise attack with a clean, mouth-watering finish.

Ageing: tank first, oak for two cuvées.
For Petit Chablis and Chablis, the whole of the fermentation and of the ageing takes place in stainless steel tanks. Oak, vanilla and heat mask the delicacy of the marls: we let nothing come between the wine and the stone.
Fermentation held at 19–22 °C · Ageing on fine lees until May
For Cuvée Élégance and Premier Cru Beauroy, the ageing is done separately for 6 to 8 months — 90 % in stainless steel tanks, 10 % in new oak barrels — then the two are assembled just before bottling. Oak used with measure, never as an argument.
Separate ageing, then assembly before bottling
Order from the estate
Our reception point is still a temporary one: the new cellar is being created in the old vaulted cave. We welcome wine lovers, sommeliers and independent wine merchants there for tastings and direct sales.
