The Race family are growers in Chablis for 4 generations. Clair Race, who began working with her parents Denis and Laurence in 2005, is now making the wines. Their 44 acres of vineyards are concentrated in Chablis and Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, with smaller holdings in Petit Chablis, the Chablis 1er Crus Mont de Milieu and Vaillons, as well as a tiny parcel in the Grand Cru Blanchots. The vines of the estate, which reach up to 65 years of age, are grown on clayey limestone slopes strewn with Kimmeridgian fossils and benefit from excellent exposure.
After harvest the grapes are pressed pneumatically and the juice is then decanted into temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Fermentation at measured temperatures lasts from a few days to a few weeks depending on the wine and vintage.
