Three generations of Chablis winemakers stand before Vincent and Sophie Wengier, who today produce wines under Vincent's name. In the southwest of the appellation, in the village of Préhy, the Wengier couple decided to put their own name to their wines in 2018 when they bottled their first Chablis. An area previously overlooked for expressive Chablis, the Wengier wines have entered the world to much acclaim. Their careful attention to detail in the vineyards, which will be certified organic from 2023, along with long slow fermentations have resulted in a line-up of wines that is completely captivating.

Since 1883, five generations of our family have handcrafted fine wines that express
the very best of our vineyards and winemaking expertise. Our Beyer Ranch has
historically been a premier location for Zinfandel. The vineyards are planted
on carefully selected sites of sloping benches that lead to the banks of the Arroyo
del Valle and Arroyo Mocho streams. Grapes from these Zinfandel vineyards
produce luscious wines with deep richness.
Each variety was fermented separately in upright stainless steel fermenters and
pumped over twice daily. The wine was pressed on the skins after 7-12 days.
The wine was aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 14
months.
