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.
Eleni and Edouard's holdings in Les Pargues are 0.40 hectare. Les Pargues is located in the next valley over from the Premier Cru Montmains but still has the same expositions. The soil is Kimmeridgian (moyen), pre-dominantly argilo-calcaire. The vines are over 30 years old."
Jasper Morris:
"Paler in colour with first class fresh white mineral fruit, slightly saline but not iodine, A little touch of liquorice, the fruit swells through the middle of the palate before the exquisite clarity of the finish. Persistent of course."
