Auffray

Auffray produces Chardonnay from Chablis, the northernmost expression of Burgundy's white wine tradition. The region's cool climate and mineral-rich terroir shape wines of precision and restraint. The winery's portfolio spans the appellation's hierarchy: Premier Cru bottlings from Vaillons and Fourchaume, and Grand Cru Les Clos, each capturing the distinctive character of its vineyard. Vaillons, rated 90.5 by Wine Spectator, demonstrates the textural complexity and stone-fruit clarity that define the Premier Cru tier. Fourchaume and Les Clos extend the range into deeper, more structured expressions. These are wines built on acidity and minerality rather than richness—the signature of unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay in Chablis, where the vineyard speaks louder than the cellar.
