Domaine de Vauroux was created in 1960 by the Tricon family.
​
This vineyard is holding now over 40 hectares. It is located around the village of Chablis on slopes whose south-east and south-west exposure to the sun is ideal. The marly limestone soil, with a high Kimmeridge (specific limestone) content, gives our wines all the characteristics of a genuine Chablis.
​
The single grape-variety used is the Chardonnay: the vines grow in harsh conditions, since the soil is very stony and dry. But this restricts yields, thus helping quality.
​
Situated in the heart of the Chablis appellation, Domaine de Vauroux uses all its know-how in the production of its wines. In order to respect and to develop the exceptional qualities of the wines we are producing, we have built a very modern winery with state-of-the-hart equipment.
​
Thanks to the reliability and the reputation of Domaine de Vauroux, you can find our wines in the best-known restaurants in France and abroad.

Tasting Notes
The grapes, which are harvested when the full ripe, give the wine a very strong and complex bouquet. With the passage of time, the honey and acacia aromas will fade in favour of fragrances of dried fruit and hazelnut.
