Daughter of Burgundy, Clotilde Davenne grew up in the countryside, at the foot of the Morvan.
This childhood in nature forged his sensitive approach to the world. Everything is there: smells, flavors, colors, in a mixture of sensations renewed every day.
With her nose in the air and her taste buds on the alert, she learns plant scents: linden, acacia, mint, crushed herbs, meadow rose, damp undergrowth...
There are also those from the garden: artichokes, peas, beans, which she often crunched on site.
Games in the orchard: cherries, plums, raspberries and nuts, until returning to the kitchen: jams, cottage cheese, cakes... Olfactory layers that are delicious.
Later, Clotilde wishes to take advantage of this sensory potential: to make wine, a profession. This is how she decided to study oenology.
A young graduate, she started with the reds of Beaujolais, discovered the sparkling vineyards of California, before returning to acclimatize the whites of Burgundy in Chablis.
Cellar manager, she works to express the terroirs through the wines she has been making since 1989. In 1992 Clotilde planted her first chardonnays.
Since then, out of passion for the land and life, she has cultivated and cared for her vines with the greatest attention.
The estate today has 3o hectares of small plots of vines, of different grape varieties and ages, spread across the villages of Chablis, Saint-Bris and Irancy.
