2018 Jean Paul Droin Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru

The Droin family is amongst the oldest in Chablis, its members having been wine growers for nearly five centuries.

Since the year of 1620, fourteen generations of vignerons have transmitted their “savoir-faire” down from father to son. During François 1st’s reign, in 1547, a certain Jehan Droin was already working on an arpent of vineyard in the Clos which was owned by the lepers hospital St Sebastian, later linked to the Hotel-Dieu.
