Gerard Tremblay, assisted by his wife Helene, is 5th generation winemaker at this 34-hectare estate located in Chablis. Most of the vines are situated in the best premier cru and grand cru appellations and the wines are some of the most sought-after in the region. A meticulous winemaker working from a superb new winery, Gerard is renowned for drawing out the typicity of the various appellations and his wines are a true reflection of the terroir from which they come. While most of the wines are sold locally, a limited amount is exported and have deservedly drawn the attention of such notable critics as Robert Parker, Guide Hachette and Revue des Vins de France. 

A clear pale gold in the glass with aromas of green and red apples and a hint of oyster shell. On the palate, fresh and crisp with notes of lime. A beautifully balanced wine, fleshy and ripe with a distinctly mineral finish. Great with lemon thyme gougères, blackcurrant and cassis cured salmon or wild rabbit in a mustard sauce.
