History
Chablis, a prestigious vineyard located a dozen kilometers east of Auxerre , in the Yonne . The Duplessis FIELD , a house that builds on the experience of five generations of wine growers and produces, since his conversion in 2010 and its certification in 2013, the organic wines eco-label and soil on which it s' Express.
Chablis, a reputation dating back to the 9 th century, based on a single grape variety - Chardonnay - and has four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Grand Cru. A limestone plateau deeply cut by valleys - in particular that of Serein -, marls and a thick layer of alluvium at river level. The Premiers Crus and Grands Crus occupy the most exposed areas - to the south and west - and develop their characteristic minerality on these slopes, which is accompanied by great conservation potential.
Today, Lilian Duplessis heads the wine estate . Concerned about the good health of the soils and the climatic challenges, it only works in organic production, anxious to respond with accuracy and respect to the various pathologies which threaten the vine. Practices which not only do not harm the quality of the wines, but are suitable for an increasingly strong demand from lovers of great Chablis. According to the vintages - 2018 for example -, the addition of sulfur may be completely absent from the winemaking.
The Duplessis FIELD , these are 8 hectares of vines divided into twenty plots each with its typicality, installed vines for some 75 years, and an attention of every moment, organic viticulture requires. Grand Cru Les Clos, Premiers Crus Vaugiraut, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, Montée-de-Tonnerre, Montmains and Vaillons: so many places with names well known to Chablis lovers, and honored on our Estate .
