A good vintage *** Michael Broadbent
Located in the south east section of Chablis, this vineyard is next to Vaillons and Lys. It was classified as a Premier Cru due to its excellent exposure and kimmeridge soil concentration, giving it the easily recognizable character of Chablis.
In the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all but abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.
The Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.
