THE COMPANY
The history of the Château de Fleys winery begins towards the end of the 19th century when Julien Philippon purchased some vines for wine production, land, and timber with which he built the estate that has since been passed down from father to son. At that time, the winery was a hunting lodge belonging to the Lord of Pathenay (squire of Louis XIV).
In 1988, the Château de Fleys and its 1-hectare "Clos" were purchased by André Philippon, the grandson of Julien Philippon. Today, the Domaine is managed by the Philippon family.
The estate is located in the town of Fleys, in the heart of the Chablis production area, 4.5 km east of the town of the same name, on the right bank of the Serein river. Today, the estate extends over a total of 20 hectares and is owned by the latest generation of the Philippon family, consisting of Beatrice, Benoit, and Olivier.
A terroir of extreme importance, in 6 different parcels it expresses the character and identity of Chablis wines, including 3 parcels classified as 1er Cru. Careful work in the vineyard, an excellent terroir for the individual parcels, and different vinification techniques to maintain and highlight the elegance and typical characteristics of the area offer products of remarkable interest.
The work in the vineyard and the winemaking are carried out with respect for nature. The winery was rebuilt and renovated in 2006, with significant investments made in equipment and technologies aimed at maximizing the quality of the wines.
