Laurent Delaunay Les Grappillages Chablis

Winemaker Laurent Delaunay on the winery

“Wine has been part of our family for generations. As a fifth-generation Burgundian winemaker, I want to make the richness of this celebrated wine region accessible to a new generation of wine lovers. With Les Grappillages, we combine centuries-old traditions with a fresh, contemporary vision. We are not looking for complicated stories, but for wines that honestly express where they come from. Burgundian finesse, with a focus on both quality and accessibility.”

And on Chablis, France

“Chablis lies in the northern part of Burgundy, where a cool climate and Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in marine fossils give our Chardonnay its distinctive character. Here, it is not about richness from oak, but about precision, freshness and minerality. That is why we ferment and age our Les Grappillages Chablis in stainless-steel tanks. This preserves the grape’s pure expression: vibrant, elegant and marked by the characteristic tension of Chablis.”
