Description
Chablis 2023, Domaine OrionFrom a sedimentary basin of Kimmeridgian limestone, layered with limestone and marl and full of oyster shell fossils, this 100% Chardonnay is exactly what Chablis should be: a rich broth of oyster shells, lemon, and stones, in a wash of fresh acidity and ripe fruit. This is the first time this wine has been imported into the US market, and we're so excited to share it with you! About the Winery As a young woman, La Schaller left Chablis for university

About the Winery
Thereafter, she got a loan to build a small winery, equipped it with stainless steel tanks, and penciled out a five-year plan. Her first vintage was 2019, which saw a production of 1,000 bottles. Every year thereafter she pulled more vines from the co-op so that by vintage 2023 she was able to market 20,000 bottles (1,650 cases). She quit all herbicides in 2022 and minimized other treatments. She’s in a viticulture group with Pascal Picq, Didier’s brother who heads up the vineyards for the Picq domaine. Like the Picq brothers for much of their vines, Léa harvests by machine. She farms 10 hectares of vines on her domaine, 6.6 of which are contracted to the co-op. The 3.4 hectares of vines she has for herself break down as follows:
• 1.9 in appellation Chablis
• 1 in appellation Petit Chablis
• 0.5 in Bourgogne
A word on Léa’s nifty label: Schallers came to Chablis from the German part of Switzerland via Alsace in the 19th century and settled as farmers in the area (Léa’s cousin Camille Schaller has his own domaine in Préhy, which he started with his father in 2014 by pulling a portion of their vines from the co-op). In old German, their name referred to the village bell-ringer who rang in the close of the day and the coming of owls.
Thanks to Sébastien Boulard and the BIVD for the photo of Léa.
