The largest of the denominations in the area, with 2900 total hectares of vines. These vineyards are renowned for their white wines, with a scent of brioche and blackthorn, mineral, open, generous and decisive in the mouth. The soils of the area are calcareous from the Upper Jurassic era. The most representative layer is the so-called Kimmeridgian, very rich in marine fossils. Vines 35 years old. To the eye it appears crystalline golden yellow with faint greenish reflections, to the nose it emanates unusual but delicious notes of peach. On the palate, we find the freshness and mineral character typical of the denomination, with a pleasant roundness and a persistent finish. Ideal as an aperitif, extraordinary with important fish dishes, marinated salmon, grilled shrimp.
Simonnet Febvre
Founded in 1840, Maison Simonnet-Febvre is one of the oldest wineries in the area. The company grew in the 19th century under the guidance of 4 successive generations. Melanie, daughter of Jean Febvre, married Amedee Simonnet. Hence the current name of the House. Their two children Georges and Camille then took over the business and gave it a significant boost with their progressive vision: modernization of the facilities, construction of the cellar and loading platform. These improvements went hand in hand with the increase in domestic sales and exports. Today Simonnet-Febvre produces a wide range of wines that express the different terroirs of the Chablis and Grand Auxerrois vineyards. Purchased by Maison Louis Latour in 2003, it is now led by Jean-Philippe Archambaud who has succeeded in inspiring a new dynamic while maintaining the independent style that has always distinguished Simonnet-Febvre: pure and concentrated wines that express their unique identity in relation to their terroir with the typical minerality of Chablis and northern Burgundy as a common framework.
