The Domaine de Vauroux Chablis appears limpid and bright, with a light gold color. This wine is tonic and well-balanced, bringing out a complex and warm bouquet. At once mineral and lively, this full-bodied and fruity Chablis brings out grapefruit and pine tree overtones.
Domaine de Vauroux was created in 1956 by Olivier Tricon’s family. Olivier’s father, Jean-Pierre, purchased the Vauroux grain farm in Chablis. He and Olivier’s uncle, Claude, planted their first vines on the land in 1972 (those vines today are the source for the Vieilles Vignes cuvee). They acquired more plots over time, eventually establishing an estate of over 32 acres. The priority shifted from grain farming to grape farming, and the winery was eventually passed down to Olivier. Today the estate is 113 acres.
Olivier Tricon’s aim is to guarantee the greatest aromatic elegance in his wines. He has acquired a functional and modern way of working. From the harvest through to the bottle, cleanliness is of utmost importance and is scrupulously ensured in order to offer the most gustatory precision to each cuvee.
The vines of Chablis sit on Kimmeridgian soil and have the best exposures for a fresh and mineral wine. The terroir of Chablis has a good balance of acidity and fineness.
