ViviersFounded in 1127 under the name of "Vivariensis Ecclesian", the fiefdom of Viviers , was built by Seigneur de Pacy of Armançon, a village situated several kilometers away. In the mere center of "Petit Pontigny" in Chablis, is found a magnificent heavy press dating back to 17th century, coming from Viviers. This proves the importance of the vineyard at that time.Viviers is the town in which our vines are located to produce our Chablis (Les Vontenelles, Vignes des Craies, Porte de Béru and Sous les Plantes; around 2ha 60). |

Its vineyard extends over the two sides of the Vallée du Serein and produces the reknown wines : Petit Chablis, Chablis and of course, the Premiers Crus (Vaucoupin, Vosgros and Vaugiraut).It is in this town that our parcel of Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin (1ha 02) is located. |
