Henri Costal Chablis Vallée de Valvan Organic, Chablis, Burgundy, France

It all began a century ago, in the year 1920, with Henri Costal- a man with a deep love for the land and a vision for creating quality wines. Henri’s focus was on organic farming, a commitment that extended to all aspects of the winemaking process. The vineyards at Domaine Henri Costal were cultivated using organic practices, ensuring a sustainable approach to viticulture. This dedication to organic farming not only respected the environment but also influenced the character of the wines produced

Over time, Janine, Henri’s daughter, assumed control of the Domaine, marrying Jean. Their union gave rise to Gilles, Romain’s father, passing down the vineyard’s heritage through the generations. Today, Romain, Henri’s great-grandson, carries on the legacy by tending to the vines and crafting wines infused with the spirit and traditional expertise passed down through generations.
