The epic tale of Burgundy wines really began in 1114 with the founding of the "second Cistercian daughter", the famous abbey of Pontigny, a few kilometers from Chablis and our company’s winery. To meet their needs, the Cistercian monks very quickly developed the Chablis vineyards. Under their influence and over the centuries, wine growing spread throughout Burgundy. The monks, followed by the wine growers, drew up a precise cartography of the soils.
