About the winemaker
“Long before Chablis acquired its status as a famous wine region, there was already plenty of demand for wines from Auxerre. The phylloxera pandemic changed this. Many farmers at the time chose to plant cherry trees instead of grapes. Years ago, I did exactly the opposite and decided to plant another 5 hectares of grape vines together with the whole family.”

Bourgogne, France
Although Chablis has the status as king of at least the northern part of Burgundy, Auxerre is one of the few parts still undiscovered. This has everything to do with the phylloxera pandemic. Long before Chablis became famous as a top area, the wines of the neighboring village of Auxerre were already extremely popular with the Parisian population. In fact, Auxerre almost had a monopoly on quality wine in the French capital. With access to that very thirsty population, a large wine-growing area developed around the city in the 12th and 13th centuries. This popularity was brutally disrupted by the phylloxera pandemic. Many farmers then opted for security and planted cherry trees instead of new grape vines. After all, the price per kilo was virtually the same at the time. There is now a new generation of winegrowers who are rediscovering the region. This not only produces exciting wines, but also Burgundies that excel in their price/quality ratio.
