Sébastien is the ultimate underdog in Chablis. Based in the village of Fyé, just behind the Grands Crus hills, his Chablis wines are elegant and punch far above their village status. From plots with a slightly more southerly aspect, his wines showcase a classic mineral backbone with crushed stone, balanced by an elegant creaminess from lees contact, orchard fruit, lemon curd, and a salty minerality. Sébastien is in organic conversion, working sustainably with hand harvesting and indigenous yeasts. Using stainless steel vinification, he aims for minimal winemaking impact to truly showcase the terroir. These are some of the finest Chablis wines, offering incredible value for money—perfectly paired with rock oysters.

Domaine Christophe is led by Sébastien, a charming and hardworking vigneron. His journey began in 1999 when he was gifted half a hectare of vines and decided to pursue winemaking. He planted vineyards around the family farm on the plateau above Fyé, initially focusing on Petit Chablis. Over time, he acquired plots in Chablis and three outstanding Premier Crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont de Milieu, and Fourchaume. He also rents additional vineyards, all of which he farms entirely. His vineyard work has always been mindful of the environment, and the domaine is now under organic conversion.

The wines are made from Chardonnay, with 20-year-old vines grown on Portlandian limestone, chalk, and Kimmeridgian flint terroir. Vinification involves traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 9 months in stainless steel tanks, with lees contact to enhance texture and complexity.
