Domaine de Vauroux
Burgundy
Domaine de Vauroux was created in 1956 by the Tricon family. In 1972 they started farming the first grapevines. Throughout its evolution the Domaine has successfully combined modern and traditional approaches, particularly in relation to its winemaking practices. Apart from their know-how and their traditions, the estate’s forebears have passed on to Domaine de Vauroux one of the oldest winegrower’s huts in the region (made from volcanic lava) which dates from the 17th century. This vineyard is now holding over 30 hectares. Since 1999 Oliver Tricon has been managing the estate in the family tradition.
The vineyard is located around the village of Chablis on slopes whose south-east and south-west exposure to the sun is ideal. The marly limestone soil, with a high Kimmeridgien content gives our wines all the characteristics of a guenine Chablis. The single grape-variety used is the Chardonnay: the vines grow in harsh conditions, since the soil is very stony and dry.
