About Winery and Wines

Burgundy’s daughter, Clotilde DAVENNE grew up in the countryside at the foot of the Morvan.

This childhood in nature forge her sensitive approach of the world. Everything is odors, flavors, colors, in a mixture of sensations daily restarted.
The nose in the air and taste buds alert, she learns vegetable scents: lime, acacia, mint, herbs wrinkled, rosé meadows, glades humid ...
There are also those of the garden: artichokes, peas, beans she often munched on site.
Games orchard: cherries, plums, raspberries and nuts, until the return to the kitchen: jam, cheese, cakes ... olfactory Layers that are delicacy.

Later, Clotilde wants to leverage this potential sensitive: make wine, a trade. So she decides to attend oenology studies.

Young graduated, she started in the red Beaujolais, discovers the sparkling wine of California, before returning acclimate white Burgundy.

Cellar master, she practices the expression of terroir through the wine she develops since 1989.
Hundreds of well shaped vintages confirm expertise she constantly tries to perfect.

Mosaic vineyard

Les Temps Perdus vineyard was created in 1992 when Clotilde planted her first Chardonnays.

Since then, out of a passion for terroirs and life, she cultivates and takes care of her vines with the greatest attention.

The estate now has 3o hectares of small plots of vines, of different grape varieties and ages, spread over the villages of

Saint Bris, Chablis and Irancy.

This typically Burgundian mosaic allows Clotilde to devote herself entirely to the production of exceptional cuvées.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Chablis is an historic wine-producing village and region in northern central France . It produces light, dry, white wines famed for their flinty minerality and crisp acidity. AOC Chablis wines are produced exclusively from the Chardonnay grape variety.

Chablis wines are made in a style rather different from those produced elsewhere in Burgundy. They are drier and fresher, rather than more weighty and richly flavored. Most basic Chablis is fermented and aged in stainless steel, with use of oak barrels more common in higher-level wines, though used larger barrels are more likely to be employed than new barriques, and wines will spend a shorter time in them than in the Côte d'Or.
