In the press
Two stars at “Le Guide Hachette des vins 2024” and “coup de Coeur “of the guide
“Righteousness, purity, liveliness: the three pillars of this exceptional Chablis. The concentrated nose releases aromas as intense as they are fine of citrus fruits, white flowers and oyster shells. The minerality is present on the palate to support a silky, elegant material; notes of flint recall the terroir and the well-melted acidity rounds the corners. Lace.”

The Winery
Vincent Wengier is a fourth-generation Chablis winemaker who, with his wife Sophie, has been producing wine under the Domaine Vincent Wengier name since 2018. Established in 1950, the domaine is located in Préhy, a village in the southwest of the Chablis appellation.
The estate manages 26 hectares of vines across four appellations, including the Premier Cru ‘Vaillons.’ The vines benefit from clay-limestone and the region’s Kimmeridgian soils, which impart a mineral backbone to the wines while enhancing their fruitiness and clarity.
The domaine adopted organic agriculture and has been certified organic since 2023. Combined with long, slow fermentations, this approach results in a range of fruit-forward wines with beautiful texture and savoury complexity that keeps you coming back for more.
