About this winery

Domaine Millet is a family property created in the early 80's on the Marcault farm in Tonnerre by Philippe Millet and is now managed by his sons Paterne and Beaudoin.

Production notes

Once we believe that the grapes have reached full maturity, the harvest begins. which, depending on the vintage, takes place in September or early October.

Maturation/Vinification : Temperature-controlled stainless steel tank.

Tasting notes

This Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin offers a golden brilliant colors. The wine is very shiny with a lot of limpidity. A few drops along the glass suggest a round wine.

The mouth reveals greedy notes of exotic fruits and brioche. Very elegant, generous and well-balanced taste. Food and wine pairing: will accompany fish in sauce, white meats and poultry. Gourmet idea : Risotto with scallops and scallop shells.
