Drink now or cellar for up to 8 years. Serve chilled.

The Droin family have been producing wine in Chablis for over four centuries. This domaine is named after Jean-Paul Droin who started to work in the family business in 1965 aged just 14, and his son Benoit who joined the business in 1999. The property sits in the heart of Chablis and is blessed with some exceptional vineyards including several Grand and Premier Cru sites.

This bottling is their charming Chablis AOP which is sourced from shallow soils made up of grey marl and limestone rich in fossils. Wherever possible the family adopt sustainable practices in the vineyard, including regular ploughing of the soils to eliminate weeds. Once in the winery the fruit is pressed gently and fermented using wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is then left to rest for 8-10 months before it is lightly filtered and bottled.

Zingy citrus fruit immediately leaps out of the glass followed by hints of salty minerality from the terroir. The first sip reveals a racy, mouthwatering freshness, intense lemon and green apple flavors, and a pure, clean finish. It’s a great choice to serve as an elegant aperitif alongside fresh seafood, sushi, leafy salads, or canapes.
