Founded in 1982 by Alain Mathias, the Domaine is now led by his son Bastien and his wife Carole, who took over in 2015. Alain was ahead of his time, embracing organic and sustainable practices in both vineyard and cellar—located in an old quarry in Epineuil—at a time when mechanical methods were becoming the norm in a region eager to capitalize on its growing fame.
 
Carole and Bastien continue his legacy while introducing their own innovations to keep the Domaine moving forward. They focus on preserving purity and freshness in the face of a warming climate by incorporating larger oak vessels, ceramic jars, amphorae, and new stainless steel tanks into their aging process. Their vineyards are situated in Villy and Lignorelles, where the soils are a mix of Portlandian and Jurassic, as well as in the steep 1er Cru Vau de Vey, planted on Kimmeridgian limestone.
 
This Chardonnay comes from 2.5 hectares of vines planted in Lignerolles, in the northern part of Chablis, where the soil consists of Jurassic layers with Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian limestone. The fruit is gently pressed in a pneumatic press over an extended period to build phenolics. After racking, selected lees are retained, and the wine is aged for 10 months in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation. Before bottling, the wine undergoes light filtration. The nose opens with a cool mineral profile, complemented by notes of fleshy fruit, cobnut, apple skin, and rhubarb. The palate is taut, with finely woven fruit and a long, clean finish.
 
The 2022 vintage in Chablis is regarded as one of the finest of the past decade. Despite the warm and dry conditions, healthy fruit, a cooler period leading up to the harvest, and moderate yields preserved the acidity, resulting in a well-balanced wine. Following the challenges of 2021, with its frosts and rains, this vintage was a welcome relief, allowing producers to fully express their terroir and winemaking expertise.
