From two 35 year old vineyards in Chitry, growing on limestone clay over Kimmeridgian deposits – classic Chablis terroir in other words! This shows in the wine, which is stony, dry and refreshing, with a sense of cool citrus fruit and a spine of electric saline acidity.

About this wine
Description & facts
Maison de la Chapelle is inspired by wineries that preserve the prestige of Burgundy wines and is dedicated to Irancy and the Yonne terroirs, to this unique northern Burgundy. The wines come from the Irancy region. The appellation covers 300 hectares, of which about 180 are planted just a few kilometres from Chablis. Nestled in the hollow of a cirque and overlooking the Yonne Valley, the sloping Vineyards are quite remarkable. Being south facing , it has a mild and sunny micro-climate, sheltered from any cold north winds. Irancy’s picturesque position is enhanced by the inter-mingling of strips of vines and cherry orchards which also form part of the historical identity of this region. With this rich agricultural biodiversity, Irancy has always been a natural enclave for the maturity of pinot noir.
