Domaine Vrignaud

Most of Domaine Vrignaud’s vines are located in and around the village of Fontenay-près-Chablis with a small percentage grown in Mont de Milieu. Vines range from 3 to 55 years of age, the oldest being reserved for the estate’s vieilles vignes Fourchaume 1er cru. Each plot is worked individually and without recourse to fertilisers, allowing the fullest expression and influence of the Kimmeridgian marl soils. In 2008, the estate invested in brand new state of the art presses, maximising the efficiency of fruit processing. Fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, and every plot is vinified separately, allowing the chef de caves to taste each wine before creating the desired blends. All wines undergo malolactic fermentation.
