Gautheron

Domaine Gautheron is located in Fleys, 4 km from Chablis, halfway between Paris and Lyon. The Chablis vineyard extends over limestone hills scattered on either side of a river, the Serein. The continental climate, hot in summer and cold in winter, with fearsome spring frosts, the soil made up of limestone marls (Kimmeridgian), make the wine of Chablis an original wine. Chablis is made from a single grape variety, Chardonnay.
