Located on the right bank of the Serein, just below the famed pre- mier cru Montée de Tonnerre, this 3 ha plot makes up two thirds of the couples vineyard holdings. Planted in the 80s and 90s, soil composition is white marl and clay, the old riverbed of the Serein. The soil is deeper and the clay is darker than other areas of Chablis, albeit still light in colour by Burgundian standards.

The Producer

Edouard's family owns Domaine Vocoret & Fils, a well known and large Chablis domaine, with over 50 hectares planted including six Chablis premiers crus and renowned for its solid, tradionally-styled wines. Edouard and Eleni partnered while in New Zealand but returned to Chablis to run a small plot of 3.3 hectares in the family vineyard.

They are currently producing two wines: Chablis "Bas de Chapelot" and Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux." Bas de Chapelot comes from 3ha just beneath Montée de Tonnerre while the Butteaux parcel is 0.3ha. Vincent Dauvissat is a mentor and a source of inspiration for the Vocorets.
