After an early interest in oenology, at the age of 15, Clément Lavallée decided to travel France and the world looking for inspiration. After several years of oenology studies all around the world, Clément has created his own label in his home appellation of St-Bris. Clément Lavallée comes from a long line of Chablis growers and winemakers, but the 2019 vintage is the first under his own label. 

With 14 hectares of vines in Chablis, Côtes d'Auxerre, and Saint-Bris, Clément is committed to elevating the prestige of northern Burgundy. Clément works organically, but is not certified, and avoids the use of herbicides and chemicals in the vineyards. Work in the cellar is also natural, with indigenous yeast fermentation, no sulfur during pressing, and gravity used for moving the wine.

As a vigneron, Clément has taken his diverse influences and channeled them towards making fresh, modern wines from lesser-known appellations. By embracing Chablis, Saint-Bris, and Côtes d'Auxerre, he is part of a new generation of winemakers that are exploring the vast potential that still lies uncovered throughout Burgundy.
