2021

100% Chardonnay 

Region: Burgundy

ESTATE HISTORY

The Aegerters, a father and son team, are creators and developers. They did not inherit an estate; they built it together, each contributing his own knowledge and aspirations.

United by the same passion for nature in general and vines in particular, Jean-Luc the pioneer and Paul the visionary freely chose this profession.

They began a shared story, developed their knowledge and allowed their ideas to mature. Paul, now the sole head of the family company, is continuing this family adventure and starting a new chapter: one about a flourishing business.

TERROIR

Chablis produces exclusively white wines. The unique subsoils provide the wines with freshness, purity and typical mineral and iodized notes. 

Soil: Kimmeridgian - gray marl alternating with limestone beds very rich in fossils.

VITICULTURE

The winery combines tradition with innovation and practices sustainable viticulture.

WINEMAKING

pressed then placed in demi-muids to be vinified. The aging is done in demi-muids of two wines for a period of 8 to 12 months.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS
