After 13 and 10 years respectively at the Brocard estate, they decided in 2013 to strike out on their own. In 2014 Céline's mother, Claudine Petit, entrusted them with the Auxerre vineyard that had come down from her own mother in Saint-Bris. Their vines now spread over 51 climats between Chablis, Chichée, Saint-Bris and Irancy, so harvests can last several weeks. Most are Chardonnay, with Sauvignon for Saint-Bris, Pinot Noir for Irancy, Aligoté and two rare grapes, Sacy and César. The wines are made in stainless steel tanks at their winery in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, fermented with native yeasts only. The domaine has been certified High Environmental Value at the highest level since 2018. ## What you will see At the tasting cellar, the team pours across the Chablis range, Chablis, the premiers crus Vosgros, Vaillons and Fourchaume, and the grand cru Bougros, as well as the Auxerre wines, Saint-Bris Sauvignon, Irancy and Bourgogne. The domaine also offers booked discovery programmes, with walks or minibus tours in the vineyard to explain how the Chablis appellations are defined and how the terroir shapes the wine. ## Opening hours and tickets - Opening hours: - 1 March to 30 November: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:00; Sunday, 10:00 to 13:00 - 1 December to 29 February: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00; Sunday, 10:00 to 12:00 - Booking: Recommended Checked on 8 October 2026 on [the official site](https://www.chablis-gueguen.fr/visites-et-degustations-des-vins-de-chablis/). ## Planning your visit Allow 45 minutes for a tasting, more for a vineyard tour.
