Gaëtan BOUVIER presides over the 34th Chablis Wine Competition

Chablis, France, is celebrating the next generation of female winemakers.

(7 November 2019, Hong Kong) – Following the success of the Spring Edition of Chablis White Party, France’s renowned pure and crisp Chablis white wine is showcased in its elegant splendour at the Chablis White Party – Winter Edition today.  

Between the frosts of May and the temperature peaks this summer, the thermometer panicked minds this year in Chablis, and the sidereal emptiness of the rain gauges too.

This early vintage is generous, in terms of both quality and quantity. It has put the smile back on winegrowers' faces after two difficult years.

The 2017 vintage promises much-anticipated quality, with juice that offers a balance between sweetness and acidity, promising beautifully balanced wines. The only downside is the low volume of the harvest.

Having already won an award in the "Vignoble et Famille" category for its wine-related tourism propositions, the Chablisienne is widening out its offer with two new eno-tourism services.

In an interview with blogger Ola Bergman, David and Arnaud Lavantureux explain how they carried out their first tests with red wine in Epineuil with the 2019 harvest.

September 2019 saw the announcement of the acquisition of Chablis wine house Désvignes & Fils, better known under the commercial name of Maison de Ligny, by Les Grands Chais de France.
