About this Wine
A tensile, finely etched Chablis Premier Cru that gathers fennel, nectarine and white blossom around a core of cool minerality. The long lees ageing brings a soft, cake-crumb warmth beneath its steelier 2022 frame, while a whisper of struck match threads through the fruit with remarkable grace. Magnum (1.5l)
Flavour Profile
Bright and mineral, with fennel, nectarine, white blossom, struck match and a soft cake-crumb warmth.

Tasting Notes
A poised, silvery Premier Cru that hums with citrus, hazelnut and the faint spark of flint in the wind. This is Chablis done BIG.
A Premier Cru of Light and Contour
This is Chablis drawn with a calligrapher’s hand. It opens in shades of nectarine, orange zest and white peach, touched by fennel and white blossom. Then comes the quiet drama: the steel-spined 2022 tension, the glint of flint, and a subtle struck-match shimmer that feels more like a memory than an effect, woven as delicately as great Ramonet. The long lees élevage lends a gentle warmth, like the soft crunch of a freshly baked Victoria sponge, giving texture without weight. It moves with precision, depth and a sense of stillness that feels unmistakably Premier Cru.

The Plot
La Grande Chaume sits high on the steep, southeast slopes of Vau de Vey, a secluded fold of the valley where Chardonnay has been rooted since 1980. The soils are poor, pale and stony, layered over ancient Kimmeridgian marl that shapes the wine’s mineral signature. Hand-harvested fruit, low yields and the site’s exposure all create a wine of natural tension and clarity, a style mirrored in the long lees ageing that Jérémy Arnaud favours. It is a parcel that speaks softly but precisely, carrying the light of its slope straight into the glass.
Technical Details
The fruit for La Grande Chaume comes from vines planted between 1980 and 1985 on a steep southeast-facing slope above Beine. The soils are clay-limestone over Upper and Middle Kimmeridgian marl, producing low yields of concentrated, finely structured Chardonnay. Harvesting is by hand. Fermentation runs with indigenous yeasts, followed by two full years of lees ageing in used barrels, with a modest proportion new oak from François Frères. The wine is unfined and unfiltered, retaining natural texture and clarity. Annual production is no more than 3,700 bottles.

Discover Their Story
Jérémy Arnaud’s ascent toward Chablis cult status traces back to 1990, when his father planted the family’s first solitary hectare.
Jérémy stepped in with just half a hectare of his own in 2017, and his holdings have since multiplied tenfold, mirroring the speed and certainty of his rise. He stands at the vanguard of a new Chablis generation, rejecting pesticides, harvesting by hand, and ageing in true wooden barrels to craft wines with striking texture, tension and depth.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.

Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
