Chablis Château de Fleys
Chablis Château de Fleys
The classic Chablis of Château de Fleys is a great example from the appellation, showing an elegant nose of white flowers and peach. On the palate, aromas of citrus and pear take over, with a mineral touch and a clean finish. Definitely a good value Chablis, to be discovered!

Château de Fleys is a small estate in Chablis gaining a solid reputation year after year. Its owners, the Philippon family, used to sell most of their grapes to the local cooperative but they now elaborate some wonderful Chablis from their best plots - which are among the finest ones in the Chablis appellation! Wines from Château de Fleys are all a pure and mineral expression of Chardonnay. A great discovery from Your Sommelier, that we are very proud of, and that you won't find anywhere else in the UK!
Julien Philippon founded the Domaine in the 1870's, buying small plots of vines over time. The Château itself was bought in 1988 by André Philippon, and the estate is now managed by his children who have been producing their own wine for a few years now. Château de Fleys is among the small producers that will be well known in a near future, but for now, it remains a confidential address in Chablis. We have selected two different Chablis, as well as 3 Premier Crus, each expressing the specific parcel they come from. Altogether they will give you a great example of the diversity of the Chablis terroir.
