The estate

Chavin was founded in 2010 by Mathilde Boulachin and Fabien Gross and has established itself as an innovative wine merchant based in Béziers. With around fifty hectares of organically farmed vineyards, Chavin stands out for its specialization in premium alcohol-free wines.

The vineyard

This alcohol-free sparkling wine is produced from a rigorous selection of Chardonnays, the emblematic grape variety behind great French white wines. The grapes come from organic farming, ensuring the quality and authenticity of the aromas.

Winemaking and aging

The Blanc de Blancs Chavin is made using a dealcoholization process by low-temperature vacuum distillation. This innovative method preserves the wine’s quality as well as its original aromas. After dealcoholization, the wine is carbonated to give it its characteristic sparkle.
