Thomas Labille is an accomplished winemaker based in the heart of Chablis, where he creates eponymous cuvées bearing all the hallmarks of top-quality Chablis. The domaine was founded in 1987 and at that time covered just 11 hectares of vine and 80 hectares of cereal. By 1992, the estate had abandoned cereal production and focussed on producing quality wine. Significant investments took place in the winery and the estate flourished, producing award-winning wines. In 2019, Thomas Labille took over the reins, with his natural flair for winemaking and following a philosophy for sustainable viticulture, his cuvées are expressive, beautifully balanced and show wonderful Chablis typicity. The estate is HVE certified.

Winery | The Chardonnay vines are planted on hillside plots with south-to-south-westerly exposure on the bank of the Serein River in the 1er Cru appellation of Montmains, which stretches along an exposed hillside to the southwest of the village of Chablis. It is renowned for producing fresh, elegant wines with good minerality. The free-draining soils sit upon a Kimmeridgian clay-limestone subsoil. The climate is continental, with cold winters allowing the vine to rest and the sap to descend and warm summers, encouraging the grapes to ripen. The vines are trained according to traditional methods and are sustainably farmed; the estate is certified HVE, which officially recognizes the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertilizer use and water resource management. |
