The Domaine de l'Eglantière is located in Chablis , in Burgundy . It belongs to the Durup family , winegrowers from father to son, exploiting vines in Chablis for several centuries. The properties of the Durup family have the highest proportion of well-exposed hillsides, with stony ground and very steep slopes, major guarantees of the quality of the wines.

The Montée de Tonnerre climate is located on medium to steep slopes, exposed to the west and protected from the east winds, where the grapes can ripen perfectly. The shallow soils rest on Kimmeridgian marly limestone and allow veins of blue clay to spring up, bringing minerality and energy to the wines. The wine is aged in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
