Enjoy up to and including 2020The meticulous work of the wine makers associated under the La Chablisienne banner gives birth to wines that time continues to magnify. Coming from a fantastic mosaic of "climats", they exhibit pure mineral emotions. This winery was founded in 1923 by Abbot Balitran, then paster of Poinchy, to help wine producers who were unable to sell their wines. "La Chablisienne" has since become an indisputable force, with a presence in all the Chablis region's appellations, both Premier Cru and Grand Cru.
