    The Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons vineyard stretches across sunny slopes, benefiting from excellent drainage thanks to its clay-limestone soils. These geological characteristics favor the flourishing of the Chardonnay vines, which draw their strength and complexity from this unique terroir. The continental climate, with its harsh winters and hot summers, contributes to the optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines that are both fresh and rich in flavor.

    Owner and history

    Jean and Sébastien Dauvissat, the current owners of the estate, passionately perpetuate the family legacy. Their commitment to quality and respect for the environment is reflected in every bottle. They work closely with nature, striving to draw the best from their terroir while preserving its integrity. This philosophy results in wines of great finesse, which bear witness to their respect for winemaking expertise and the authenticity of Chablis.

    Vinification and aging

    The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is made according to time-honored traditions. After a manual harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit. The wine is then aged for several months on its fine lees, adding complexity and richness. This traditional method allows the character of the terroir to be fully expressed, while also imparting a beautiful minerality to the wine.
