The traditional Saint-Vincent tournante du chablisien won’t take place on the 6th and 7th of February 2021 because of the sanitary crisis. The village of Fleys, host of this 52nd edition, will have to wait until the 5th and 6th of February 2022 to welcome the celebrations and the visitors. 

The Chablis Wine Festival changes its format and becomes, for this year, “Fête en Caves”. Under the current circumstances and for the safety of all, the 72nd edition of the Chablis Wine Festival will take place in the tasting cellars at the heart of the vineyards of the North of Bourgogne on the 24th and 25th of October. 

The harvest is always a critical time. The grapes must be picked when they offer the optimum combination of sweetness and acidity. 

Since the end of the lockdown, tasting cellars have adapted so they can welcome the public respecting the new health and safety norms. Don’t hesitate, get a breath of fresh air at the heart of our vineyards and come taste our wines! 

George's first book, Chablis and the Wines of the Yonne, published in 1984, won both the André Simon and the Glenfiddich awards. In this third edition, she writes about the grandchildren of the wine growers in her first book!

Chablis is a complex region and many arguments regarding the appellation’s strict definition ensued – which villages could use the name, was it essential that wines were made exclusively from Chardonnay and how important was it that vines were grown on the distinctive Kimmeridgian limestone soil?
