Domaine Eleni and Edouard Vocoret Current Releases

 

Eleni and Edouard’s approach in the cellar is consistent across all the wines. Alcoholic and malolatic fermentation is done in stainless steel with natural yeast. The wines are then aged for one year in old barrels. Before bottling the wines are put back in tank for an assemblage of one or two months.

Chablis Les Pargues

Eleni and Edouard's holdings in Les Pargues are 0.40 hectare. Les Pargues is located in the next valley over from the Premier Cru Montmains but still has the same expositions. The soil is Kimmeridgian (moyen), pre-dominantly argilo-calcaire. The vines are 30 years old.

Chablis Boucheran

Boucheran is made from a 0.89 hectare located between two premier crus, Vaillons and Montmains. The soil is Kimmeridgian (moyen) with a high proportion of white clay in the soil. The vines are 35 years old.

Chablis Bas de Chapelot

Bas de Chapelot comes from a 3.2 hectare parcel just below Montée de Tonnerre. It is the Vocoret's only parcel on the right side of the river bank. The soil is deep, clay and limestone, and Kimmeridgian (moyen). The vines are now 40 years old vines and due to their proximity to the riverbed are very exposed to frost.
