Domaine Christophe is the ultimate underdog in Chablis, a charming, enthusiastic, and hard-working vigneron. The vinous adventure began in 1999 when Sebastien was gifted half a hectare of vines and decided to make a run for it. He planted vineyards around the family farm on the plateau above the village of Fyé (located just behind the Grand Crus) almost all were Petit Chablis. He then acquired plots in Chablis and 3 of the most outstanding Premier Crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont de Milieu and Fourchaume. Renting additional vineyards which Sebastien farms entirely. The work in the vineyards have always been mindful to the living and are under organic conversion.

With now more than 30 hectares of vineyards, he still finds time to cultivate around 40 hectares of crops and organising this Year biggest wine event in Chablis “La Saint Vincent”.

The winemaking is as discrete as possible to showcase the quality of the vineyards, mainly using stainless-steel and only a handful of barrels can be seen in his winery.

Sebastien export most of his production making it hard to find his wines in Burgundy and even France. His agent in Paris being a long-standing friend, which facilitated the connection. Even here in the UK his wines never made it to a restaurant table, until now 😊.
