This vineyard is located on the left bank, between Montmains and Vaillons. The rows run up and down the slope, and there are three levels in the plot, which brings a certain complexity. The middle one is lighter soil, and if you dig 20 cm, you find crunchy shells. The top is less interesting as it has been harvested. And the bottom is colluvium: small stones from the river. This wine was aged 12 months in wood. Tight with some apple notes, it shows beautiful precision. Lovely fruit here: very detailed, with a hint of mandarin.

Domaine Eleni & Edouard Vocoret
Domaine Eleni & Edouard Vocoret belongs to a new generation in Chablis and produces top-quality wines that have been highly rated by various wine critics since their first vintage in 2013. She is from Germany, studied Wine Business in Austria, and completed her winemaking training at the Jurtschitsch winery in Kamptal.
Edouard comes from the 7th generation of Domaine Vocoret in Chablis, studied viticulture in France, and gained experience at various wineries in France. He was especially influenced by the work of Daniel Barraud in Vergisson due to his "low-intervention" approach. This led him to decide to adopt a different working method than that of his family.
Eleni and Edouard met in 2010 during a harvest in New Zealand and then moved in together directly in Chablis. Afterwards, Eleni worked at Vincent Dauvissat and Edouard at his family winery Vocoret. In 2013, they took over four different vineyards with a total area of 4.89 ha from Edouard's family and founded a new winery.
Their vineyards are managed sustainably and artisanally. It is worth mentioning that they ferment all wines spontaneously in stainless steel tanks and after fermentation age them on fine lees for about 12 months in old barrique barrels – whereas many large producers mature their wines 100 percent in stainless steel. This gives their wines a certain saltiness and a special structure.
