Butteaux is one of the ‘climats’ of Premier cru Montmains which is regarded as one of the top Premier cru vineyard sites in Chablis lying beside or below Vaillons. Being one of the most southern locations for 1er cru in Chablis it is regarded as a cooler site with slightly later harvest. Here there is a very thin layer of clay which overlays the Kimmeridgian marls.

Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, June 2026

This is the first part of Butteaux as you leave Chablis next to Forets... Younger vines planted by father-in-law after some court-noué and it seems to be returning - 12-15 hl/ha in 2022 - and in a cooler vintage like 24 it was around 27 hl/ha, it was warmer in 2023 and 2025, still not a full yield but better. All barrel elevage, again nothing new.Fine, larger scale - more fluid energy - super clarity of perfume - here faintly spiced by the barrel. Ooh - this is so good - I’d prefer it without the smoky barrel flavours - so I’d wait 3 years. But texturally this is silk with a small cushion and completely classy and fading so, so long. Certainly excellent, probably great.
