Eleni & Edouard Vocoret 'Bas de Chapelot' Chablis

Chardonnay

Burgundy, France

Eduoard Vocoret is the seventh generation of winegrowers in his family. He studied wine in Montpellier, Beaune and Mâcon and moved to New Zealand in 2010 where he worked at Alan Scott Wines. This is where he met Eleni, his wife. ‘We were working in the same estate,’ he says, ‘and then we travelled around New Zealand, Australia and some other countries.’ They returned and did a vintage in the family domaine. He carried on working at the family estate, while Eleni worked with Vincent Dauvissat and Natalie Oudin, and in 2012 his father offered them an amazing opportunity: to have their own estate.
