The Lecestre family founded their estate in Chablis in 1956 and have been running it for four generations. Working the Kimmeridgian terroir of Chablis, they produce only white wines of this appellation (Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume) and manage their vineyards in "lutte raisonnée". The domaine's philosophy is to bring out the full richness of the Chablis terroir, using only stainless steel vats in a low-intervention approach.
