Domaine Carrion Gran Vin de Chablis – a Domaine born from one man’s passion. The estate was once the property of a wine enthusiast who originally hailed from Brittany and moved to Chablis in the 1970s after falling in love with the picturesque wine region. For nearly 30 years, he devoted himself to the property, taking great pleasure in developing it.
The CHABLIS vineyard, located at the extreme North of Burgundy, a 2 hours drive from Paris, extends in the heart of a winding valley. The region offers breath-taking panoramas! The vineyard benefits from a micro-climate with continental influence (hot summers, dry autumns, long and harsh winters). Chablis wines are famous thanks to an exceptional terroir on which Chardonnay thrives. Domain Carrion is located in the heart of the Chablis region and extends toward la Chapelle Vaupelteigne, a small village nestled next to Chablis. The landscape is made of valleys and rolling forested hills. Vines grow along the slopes of the valley of the Serein, a little river which crosses the vineyard from North to South. The Chablis soil is known for bringing freshness and minerality, allowing us to create elegant and expressive wines. The soil on which grow the vines is made of limestone, dating back to the "Kimmeridgian" era, making the identity of Chablis vineyard. The soil contains many fossils.
