Bottle size: 75cl

ABV: 12%

This Chablis is pale yellow in colour with youthful reflections. The nose marries ripe citrus notes of lemon and lime with delicate blossom aromas. On the palate, it is well balanced with great intensity of flavour, a rich texture thanks to the lees ageing and a lingering finish.

The grapes for the Vrignaud Chablis come from 14 hectares of vineyard on clay-limestone soils near the commune of Fontenay-Près-Chablis. The vines are situated on south-east facing slopes, between 170-240 metres above sea level. The vines are 30 years old on average and double-cane pruned, resulting in fruit of great intensity and complexity of flavour. The vineyards are all farmed organically and became officially certified organic in September 2019.

Guillaume Vrignaud joined the family domaine in 1999, when his father was a member of the co-op in Chablis, and convinced him to build a cellar and start making his own wines. Their success was such that they have grown from 12 hectares of vineyard to 27 hectares today. In 2009, Guillaume moved to organic viticulture but, like many growers in Chablis, abandoned it in the difficult 2016 growing season and is once again in the middle of the three-year conversion period.
