THE VINEYARD
Our vineyard is located on the hillsides of Lignorelles a small village of 185 residents, built on the top of a hill at 265 meters above sea level and overlooking the Serein valley.
Our first Chablis vines were planted in 1982 on the small locality of “Sur Prenant”.
Family owned vineyard, nowadays Olivier Chavard operates 17 hectares of vines, under the appellation Chablis and Petit Chablis.
OUR WORK
We do all the work carried out in the vineyard. Our vineyard is managed in a sustainable way. Each action is based on prior observations and we only treat against vine diseases or pests if deemed necessary while always promoting biotechnical controls, like mating disruption first.
Yields are controlled in order to obtain the ideal maturity for our harvest.
The grapes are picked up by a grape harvester then pressed into a low-pressure pneumatic press in order to extract grape musts with the best olfactive qualities. A one-day static settling follows which allows to keep only the fine wine lees on which we age our wines so that we can obtain an interesting aromatic complexity. The vinification, in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, will last between 5 and 8 months.
The bottling of the wine is done at our property.

CHARDONNAY
Issu du cépage Chardonnay, ce blanc de blanc puise ses arômes dans le terroir de la Bourgogne du nord. Il offre une belle maturité et un bel équilibre, marqué par la minéralité.
Sa robe or brillant, dévoile un fin cordon de bulles délicates. Le nez est frais. La bouche offre une belle complexité aromatique.
Très apprécié à l’apéritif.
