Wine has been produced at this family-owned estate since the 1700s. The wine is Terra Vitis certified - an impressive achievement for such a value-priced Bordeaux.

Calet 2019 Blaye Cotes De Bordeaux
Croix Mouton 2018 Bordeaux Superieur
91 Decanter: “This is an extremely good Croix Mouton and should be good value – it’s juicy and well put together with raspberry and crushed blackberry fruits abound.”
Croix Mouton produces wines intended for pleasure, and excellent while still young. Entirely Merlot-driven, they are full-bodied and rich in flavour, easy to drink but with finesse, and have a stunning display of fresh red fruit on the palate. After the release of its first vintage, Château Croix Mouton was very quickly recognized by Bordeaux wine experts as being excellent value for money.

Clement Lavallee 2022 Aligote
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis
The 2022 Chablis Villages comes from a 2.5Ha plot of 35-year-old vines picked at 35 hl/ha and sees 12 months ageing on the lees. This estate cuvée displays a tension worthy of the greatest village level Chablis. The 2022 Chablis is distinguished by its purity and freshness, with aromas of citrus, white flowers and hints of flint, typical of the terroir. The palate is lively, carried by a beautiful acidic tension and a clean finish, supported by a marked minerality. This wine embodies finesse, with remarkable precision and balance. Elegance and purity in spades.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis Les Ardill
The 2022 Les Ardillers comes Chardonnay planted to clay-limestone soils from 45-year-old vines in the 1.6Ha namesake lieu-dit. It’s aged for 12 months in 1- to 5-year-old barrels for half the crop, the other in stainless steel on the lees. This shows assiduous use of the lees, lending weight and texture to the vibrant finish; a more classically taut and mineral expression of Chablis.
Clement Lavallee 45 Degrees 2022 Chablis
This Chablis is the flagship. There's something very 'Raveneau' about this, their Chablis 45° (named after the steep slope of the vineyard), a wine with beautiful length, a perfectly balanced structure and subtle layers of orchard fruits and lightly-salted butter. It’s focused and richly textured, highlighting why Clément has become one of the fastest rising stars in Chablis.
