Production philosophy
The estate prioritizes work in the vineyard with attention to the environment, hand-harvesting the most prized parcels, and winemaking aimed at the purity and minerality of the terroir, with limited intervention in the cellar.

Located in the heart of the Chablis appellation, the estate owns parcels across all four appellation levels: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru and Chablis Grands Crus; the soils of the Grand Cru parcels are described as Kimmeridgian in origin.
