The story of La Chablisienne begins in 1923, when a group of growers led by Abbé Balitrand joined forces to navigate the economic challenges of the era. Today, this cooperative manages nearly a quarter of the Chablis region, producing Petit Chablis, Chablis, 1er Cru, and Grand Cru wines. As the exclusive owners of the famous Château Grenouilles vineyard, they hold a unique position in the heart of the region's best terroir. Their wines are known for a crisp, high-acid style and a clear mineral taste that is typical of the region. The Premier Cru Vaulorent nose reveals aromas of white blossoms and citrus zest, layered over scents of sea spray and a subtle hint of toasted brioche. The palate is precise and voluminous, striking a perfect balance between a rich, silky texture and a stony minerality with a long, persistent finish. Located on the same iconic hill as the Grand Crus and bordering the Grand Cru of Les Preuses, Vaulorent offers the structure and crystalline precision of Chablis’ finest vineyards.

This wine is made from two parcels which are found on the border of the communes of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The first, which is to the left of the Clos des Perrières, has clay/limestone soil and a subsoil of volcanic rock which allows a healthy root system to develop in this limestone-rich environment. The second is on the upper slope and overlooks the Perrières quarry. Here the soil is heavily limestone, partly as marl and partly as white rock. This is interesting for the way it brings mineral notes to the wine. During tastings it often find notes of white pepper and other spices both on the nose and on the palate.

DOMAINE LUCIEN LE MOINE 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes, Chassagne-Montrachet Lucien Le Moine is a unique négocianthaute couture is often how they are described. Husband and wife, Mounir and Rotem Saouma source small parcels of wine from many producers. Their contribution to the wine is in the elevage, esoteric regime which changes each vintage relying on Mounirs sensory talents forged in a Trappist monastery in Lebanon and honed in their vaulted cellars in the Cote dOr. Working with the best (Jupilles, FRA), fine-grained new oak, the Saoumas produce a staggering number of Grands and 1er Crus cuvees.
