Domaine Chevallier - Chablis


Chevalier Clerget


The Clerget family dates back to 1268. Jean Clerget, Member of the Royal Parliament in Dijon, was appointed “Chevalier” in 1698 and granted a family coat of arms. In 1972, Patrick Clerget started working for the family company “Maison Raoul Clerget” in Saint-Aubin. In 1994, he and his wife set up their own company, “Sélection Patrick Clerget”, in Beaune, the capital of Burgundy wines. In 2007, he was appointed a member of “Chevalier du Tastevin”, the exclusive society that promotes Burgundy wines around the world. “Sélection Patrick Clerget” now exports nearly 2 million bottles of the fine wines of France every year to more than 25 countries all over the world.

Domaine Chevallier

This tiny estate was started in 1986 by two brothers, Claude and Jean-Louis Chevallier. In 2015 Claude’s daughter, Céline, began to take over the management of the company, while Claude still handles winemaking. Their family has been growing grapes in Burgundy since 1788. The vineyards are spread out over three appellations: Petite Chablis, Chablis, and Chablis 1er Cru with a total of eleven acres all planted with Chardonnay. The soil is the famous Kimmeridgian soil composed of limestone and clay.
