Domaine Orion 2024 Chablis

The Domaine Orion 2024 Chablis is a fresh, mineral-driven Chardonnay that captures the classic tension and purity of northern Burgundy. Crisp yet expressive, it offers vibrant citrus, orchard fruit, and unmistakable limestone minerality with bright acidity and elegant balance. Crafted by a young, rising producer in the village of Préhy, this wine reflects the modern energy of Chablis while remaining faithful to its traditional, terroir-focused style.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Domaine Orion is a small, emerging estate in Préhy, within the Chablis appellation of Burgundy, France, founded by winemaker Léa Schaller. Schaller represents the third generation of her family to farm vines in the area and established the domaine in 2019, transitioning from selling grapes to the cooperative to bottling her own wines.

• Region
  • Chablis AOC, Burgundy, France
  • Chablis lies at the northern edge of Burgundy and is famed for its limestone soils and cool climate, producing some of the world’s most mineral-driven Chardonnay.
• Vineyards
  • The estate farms roughly 10 hectares, though only a portion is currently bottled under the domaine label.
  • Parcels are located around Préhy on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, known for contributing saline, oyster-shell minerality typical of Chablis.
• Viticulture
  • Schaller eliminated herbicides in 2022 and aims for environmentally responsible vineyard management.
• Grape Variety
  • 100% Chardonnay, the only permitted grape for Chablis wines.
• Winemaking
  • Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, precision, and terroir expression.

This careful approach results in a Chablis that emphasizes purity, brightness, and minerality rather than oak influence.
