β¨ Technical Specifications
Domaine de Vaudon, the historic Chablis estate of Maison Joseph Drouhin, is anchored by an elegant 18th-century watermill, the Moulin de Vaudon, sitting astride the Serein River. This property represents the soul of Drouhin's presence in Chablis, where biodynamic viticulture is championed to express the pure essence of the region. The vineyards thrive on the classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, packed with fossilized marine shells from the Jurassic era. This unique terroir imparts a signature flinty, saline minerality to the wine. Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel vats to preserve its pristine fruit character, this Chardonnay showcases a brilliant pale gold color, vibrant citrus aromas, and a crisp, clean finish that captures the cool-climate energy of Chablis.
