Notes from Grand Cru Selections:

"Édouard and Eleni first met during the 2010 harvest in New Zealand. Not long after, they married and returned to Chablis to take over a small piece of Edouard's family domaine  and establish their own project in 2013. With just 3.3 hectares to start, their vision was clear: a more artisanal, sustainable approach, focused on farming. Making single-site wines that highlight the individuality of each plot through the same thoughtful, minimalist winemaking. Their small holdings allowed them to know every vine by heart...in 2023, Édouard inherited an additional 5 hectares of impressive real estate —including Butteaux and new 1er crus Forêts, Séchet, Châtaigne, and Montée de Tonnerre, along with the Grands Crus Blanchots, Valmur, and Les Clos—bringing the domaine to roughly 10 hectares. 

Bas de Chapelot comes from a 3.2 hectare parcel just below Montée de Tonnerre. The soil is deep, clay and limestone, and Kimmeridgian (moyen). The vines are now 40 years old vines and due to their proximity to the riverbed are very exposed to frost."

Wine Advocate:

"Aromas of grapefruit, pear and white flowers introduce the 2024 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot, a medium- to full-bodied, incisive and taut wine that is racy and has ample structuring extract, concluding in a long, saline finish. As readers will know, it derives from deep soils close to the river."
