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 cuvees are expressive, beautifully balanced, and show wonderful Chablis typicity. The estate is HVE certified.

Winery | The Chardonnay vines are planted on hillside plots in the 1er Cru appellation of Vogros, which lies to the south of the village of Chablis on the left bank of the River Serein. With a south-easterly orientation, the plot benefits greatly from good exposure to the sun, and its amphitheater shape protects it from the winds. The vineyard is situated upon a Kimmeridgian clay-limestone subsoil, imparting elegance and characteristic minerality. The continental climate, with cold winters allowing the vine to rest and the sap to descend and warm summers, encourages the grapes to ripen. The vines are trained according to traditional methods and are sustainably farmed; the estate is certified HVE, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. |
