Where are Clotilde Davenne wines made?
Clotilde Davenne wines are made in Préhy, a small village situated just southwest of Chablis in northern Burgundy, France. The domaine encompasses around 20 hectares of vineyards spread across Chablis, Saint-Bris, Irancy, and surrounding Bourgogne appellations. This location provides access to a diversity of soils and exposures, though many of her top white wines are grown on Kimmeridgian limestone—the hallmark soil type that gives Chablis its famous flinty, mineral character. The estate follows sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention in the cellar. Grapes are harvested by hand and vinified using indigenous yeasts, with temperature control to preserve freshness. Ageing typically occurs in stainless steel to highlight varietal expression and terroir. Whether from Chablis or nearby villages, each wine is crafted with precision and respect for the land. This commitment to place and purity results in wines that are vibrant, terroir-reflective, and classically styled, with a modern sensibility.

Her Chablis 1er Cru “Côte de Léchet” is a step up in complexity, with more texture, structure, and ageing potential, showcasing the power and elegance of this premier cru site. Another standout is her Crémant de Bourgogne, a traditional method sparkling wine made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It’s frequently praised for its finesse, creaminess, and balance, rivalling many Champagne bottlings at a fraction of the cost. For something off the beaten path, her Bourgogne Aligoté is also highly regarded—zippy, citrus-driven, and incredibly refreshing. Each of these wines reflects her dedication to purity and terroir.
