Domaine Jean-Claude Martin is a family estate, led today by Jean-Claude’s children Claudia and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, who carry on his passion for authentic Chablis. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric tends the family’s many older vines, ensuring low yields and healthy grapes each season. Claudia takes care of the cellar, the reception of each year’s harvest and the slow, meticulous process of fermentation and aging to ensure each bottle is a worthy carrier of the name Chablis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reviving the tradition of estate bottling in 2018, the family also now farms with a clear focus on sustainability\u2014with cover crops and healthier soils yielding fresher, more expressive wines that still retain that unmistakable spark that is the hallmark of the greatest Chablis wines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FARMING & WINEMAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

The family tends some 35 acres of land on pure Kimmeridgian soils in the heart of the appellation, in the villages of Chablis, Courgis and Prehy. Estate founder Jean-Claude has long been a pioneer in sustainable farming methods, and now with his children, Claudia and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, heading up the estate, he continues to work on ways to keep their vineyards healthy and in balance. Organic fertilizers, better methods for managing erosion and water stress, as well as exploring ideas in agricultural homoeopathy, are just some of the ways the family is always advancing when it comes to sustainable farming.<\/p>\n

The family harvests their premier cru vineyards by hand. Wines are fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks; some premier cru wines are fermented in a combination of French oak barrel and tank. No more than 20% new wood is used each vintage. Wine are not filtered.<\/p>\n
