Winemaking - Chablis lies along the southern extremity of the Paris basin, which stretches across northern France & the channel to southern England, including the village of Kimmeridge in Dorset. Sedimentary soils formed from an upper jurassic sea-bed about 180 millions years ago. The composition of the soil alternates between layers of very compact and hard chalky limestone, as well as softer clay that is embedded with fossilised marine plants and animals. The Premier Cru Vaillons is planted on the left bank of the Serein River, with an excellent south –west exposure. The wine underwent cold settling at 16°C fermentation in stainless steel tanks and after, blending of 70% stainless steel tanks and 30% of oak “foudre” casks.
