Domaine de Vauroux farms over 40 hectares around the village of Chablis, with Olivier Tricon — trained in Beaune and seasoned by stints in the Côte de Beaune, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Madiran — at the helm since 1998, farming sustainably; the wine is vegan-certified. The Chablis village is assembled from multiple parcels on classic Kimmeridgian limestone marl, the oyster-fossil subsoil of the appellation, where stony, dry topsoils naturally restrict yields. 100% Chardonnay.

No oak touches the wine at any stage: it ferments slowly at low temperature in stainless steel, undergoes full malolactic fermentation, and rests on fine lees in tank for around nine months.

Wine Identification
The Domaine de Vauroux Chablis 2023 is a white wine produced by the eponymous estate in France’s Burgundy region. Managed by Olivier Tricon, who assumed leadership in 1998 after gaining experience across various prestigious French appellations including Beaune and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the domain spans over 40 hectares surrounding the village of Chablis. This specific bottling is a Village-level Chablis made from 100% Chardonnay.

Origin and Winemaking
The grapes are sourced from diverse parcels situated on kimmeridgian marl limestone, a soil type characterized by fossilized oyster shells that defines the Chablis denomination. The terrain consists of stony, dry soils that naturally limit vine yields. Viticultural practices are sustainable, and the wine holds vegan certification.

In the cellar, the winemaking process is designed to preserve freshness without the influence of oak. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is completed before the wine undergoes approximately nine months of aging on fine lees, also within steel vats. The result is a wine crafted without any wood contact.

Expected Profile
As a Chardonnay-based white from Chablis, this vintage reflects the classic minerality associated with its kimmeridgian terroir. The stainless steel fermentation and lack of barrel aging suggest a profile focused on primary fruit purity, crisp acidity, and saline notes derived from the fossil-rich soils. The nine months sur lie likely contribute to a subtle textural richness while maintaining the varietal’s characteristic lean structure.

Overall Character
This Chablis presents a modern, clean expression of Burgundian Chardonnay. By eschewing oak entirely and utilizing low-temperature fermentation, Domaine de Vauroux emphasizes the purity of the fruit and the distinct geological signature of the region. It is a straightforward, vegan-friendly white that highlights the stony, mineral-driven character typical of the area under sustainable management.

Vauroux was not a vineyard: it was a grain farm. Jean-Pierre Tricon bought it in 1956, in Chablis, and the first vine was not planted there until 1972. He planted it with his brother Claude, in the years when Chablis was getting back on its feet. Those 1972 vines are the ones that today make the Vieilles Vignes cuvée.

Olivier Tricon trained in Beaune and worked in the Côte de Beaune, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and in Madiran; he returned to the family house as cellar master while also working as a wine broker. In 1998 he bought the estate from his family and began to expand it.

Today there are more than forty hectares around the village of Chablis, on Kimmeridgian marly limestone — the oyster-fossil bedrock that defines the appellation — with stony, dry soils that limit yields on their own. Farming is sustainable and the wines are certified vegan.

The range runs from Bourgogne Chardonnay to Chablis and Chablis Vieilles Vignes, the Montmains and Montée de Tonnerre premier crus, and the Bougros grand cru.

The village Chablis sees no oak at all: low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel, full malolactic and some nine months on fine lees, also in steel.
