AboutLa Chablisienne
La Chablisienne began in 1923, when a group of growers rallied by Abbé Balitrand formed a cooperative in the heart of Chablis. Their immediate purpose was practical—pooling resources during a difficult economy and finding a market for their wines. In the mid-1950s, members began delivering grape must rather than finished wine, putting winemaking in the cooperative’s hands.
The wines span Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Growers press close to the vineyards; La Chablisienne then handles clarification and fermentation, using temperature-controlled steel or, for selected crus, oak barrels.

French White
A clean floral nose opens with apple and lychee, followed by a gentle mineral edge. The palate is broad and lightly buttery, yet freshness and firm structure keep the mature fruit in balance. Green apple brings definition through the middle, while subtle citrus and chalky notes add lift. The finish returns to crisp Granny Smith apple with a measured savoury tone. Serve cool rather than cold, and allow the wine time in the glass to reveal its mature texture.
