Domaine Massin Chablis

Domaine Massin owes its origins in 2011,
to the trust and friendship which exists between Roland and Tristan.

Roland brings his management experience to the venture
and Tristan, the son of a family of Champagne vineyard owners, provides the winemaking expertise.
Since then, Domaine Massin has been producing Chablis which is the fullest expression of their respect for the terroir and grapes.

Our wines are clean and mineral-laced, with an extremely pure aroma.
We take an unpretentious approach to producing wines that are easy to drink
but pleasingly complex, so that visitors can relish the experience of a drinking a glass of wine from the Domaine.

All the passion and rigour which we bring to our wines is reflected in their flavour on the taste buds.

The vineyard

Domaine Massin vines boast a truly exceptional location.

Our Petit Chablis is adjacent to the Grands Crus.
This prestigious terroir means that we can produce a wine offering outstanding value in terms of quality, price and enjoyment.
This wine for sharing with friends is an ideal aperitif with ham and parsley terrine. It is also a perfect accompaniment for a light meal with charcuterie, or starters such as citrus salads and shellfish.

Our Chablis is located between the Grands Crus and the Montée de Tonnerre. It is subtle and elegant, well-rounded, pleasingly structured, and can be enjoyed with white meat, charcuterie, or cheeses such as Chaource and Langres.

We are also proud to grow and produce a Chablis 1er Cru « Montée de Tonnerre ». The aim was to make a very elegant, subtle premier cru, with a fine, complex aromatic profile.

We were keen for it to be elegant and intense on the palate, but not explosive, with excellent length and a tart, flavoursome finish.

We successfully rose to the challenge -
albeit in limited quantities.
It is best enjoyed after 3 to 4 years ageing, served with lobster, oysters, fish, and seafood. It is a great accompaniment for pan-fried sole or white fish with beurre blanc.
