Plan a wine trip to Gerard Duplessis — Femente builds the route.
Gerard Duplessis works Chardonnay in Chablis, the northernmost expression of Burgundy's limestone terroirs. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's classification system: Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings that reflect the mineral precision and tension Chablis demands. The Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' and Premier Cru 'Montmains' anchor the range, both pure Chardonnay expressions shaped by Kimmeridgian soil and cool-climate ripening. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated these releases. Chablis Premier Cru 'Vaillons' rounds the core selection. These are wines built on terroir definition rather than oak or extraction—the house style emphasizes the interplay between fruit acidity and the chalky, flinty character that Chablis terroir imparts.
