Winemaker Notes
At Domaine de Vaudon the vines are pruned short, the yields are kept very low and the harvesting is done by hand only. In keeping with the time honoured Chablis tradition, berries are pressed very gently, the fermentation is as slow as possible and the wine is the left to age a few months in oak barrels. Domaine de Vaudon is a Chablis of great elegance and finesse. A luminous greenish hue, floral aromas with a touch of spice and a light and balanced concentration, all spell Chablis at its highest level of quality.

The Moulin de Vaudon, the property of Joseph Drouhin, is an 18th Century watermill straddling the Serein River, close to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis. Flowing gently past hillsides covered with vineyards, the river has always been closely identified with Chablis and its region. Because of its unique location at the heart of their 38 hectare vineyard estate (95 acres), the historical watermill is the headquarters of the Drouhin Domaine in Chablis.
Joseph Drouhin, a precursor and pioneer in this great wine region for 45 years, strengthens the identity of the prestigious Chablis Domaine. Starting with the 2008 vintage, the name "Vaudon" was associated with Joseph Drouhin for all its Chablis wines as a sign of the firm's allegiance to this historical terroir.
