Vineyards & Viticulture
From a 0.3828 hectare parcel, Chanlins could be a simple reference to the former fields (champs) in which flax (lin) was grown, as was also the case in Volnay, of which Les Chanlins is the geographical continuation. The vines for Les Chanlins are located on the steepest slope of the appellation. Everything in the vineyard is done manually as the slopes are too steep for tractors.

Soils
Clay, limestone

Harvest & Vinification
Grapes are manually harvested and carefully sorted. 100% destemmed, fermented in stainless steel for 12 to 20 days with daily pump over and punch down. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels (Tronçais), 10% new for an average of 18 months.
