Traditional vinification includes static clarification before fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic conversion take place in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine undergoes an additional 12 months of ageing on the lees, again using a combination of wood and stainless steel.

About La Chablisienne
La Chablisienne was born in 1923 when a group of 180 small farmers joined forces to form a cooperative. Chablis, located between Paris and Beaune is a treasury of wines. The vineyards are located on both banks of the river Serein spread over 20 villages (6800 hectares). Of the 4,700 hectares in production, la Chablisienne alone represents 25%. Vaulorents is part of the Fourchaume vineyard and is only separated by a road from the Grand Cru mountain. You can call the wine a small grand cru at a low price.
