Known as the antiquarians of Chablis, the father and son team of Gérard and Lilian Duplessis have gained a reputation for their “immortal”, age‐worthy wines and unparalleled store of older vintages. For those who love the intense minerality and glacially slow development of great Chablis, these are wines of reference. Lilian has turned the domaine into one of the very few organic estates in Chablis. Vinifications are done in stainless steel, then most of the Premier Crus (all but Vaugiraut) and Grand Cru spend time in old barriques for elevage. All the wines are fermented naturally and sulfured between 20 and 30 ppm at bottling. Lilian makes some of the purest, most terroir-driven wines in the region. Wine Notes: Petit Chablis, from a single parcel in the village, on Portlandian limestone, is the easiest, freshest wine of the line up. A quaffer that shouldn’t be cellared but drank and shared early on. A cut well above the average petit.
