Domaine Pinson is a historic Chablis wine estate dating back to 1640. Laurent Pinson has been managing the property since 1983, together with his brother Christophe and his daughter Charlène, who joined in 2012.
The property consists of a mosaic of terroirs representative of Chablis and produces each of its four categories: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er, and Chablis Grand Cru. It is the northernmost part of Burgundy, with particularly cold weather conditions and frosts lasting until spring.
It has soils from the Kimmeridgian period with marine fossils, which give the wines a dry, mineral, fresh, and salty style. Chablis is the embodiment of the term “Les Climats,” where in a small area you can find a range of plots and very different expressions of wine.
France, a historic wine-producing region with over 2,000 years of tradition, is one of the world’s leading wine producers, with 800,000 hectares of vineyards and 383 appellations of origin.
Its climatic and geological diversity makes it a leader in wine styles. Roman influence established the first vineyards in southern France, while in the Middle Ages, monks and clergy contributed to the development of the wine sector and the concept of “designations of origin.”
France stretches 1,000 kilometers from north to south, has diverse wine-growing regions, and has faced challenges such as phylloxera and climate change.
The new generation of winegrowers focuses on environmentally friendly practices and the unique expression of wine, combining traditional and modern knowledge.
