Domaine Orion Chablis 2022

Crisp, bright, exciting Chablis. Classically styled profile with green apple and saline notes and a mineral, creamy palate. This is vibrant and alive. A lovely accompaniment to shellfish, or indeed a balmy summers evening with friends in the garden.

Domaine Orion, situated in Préhy, a small village in the south west corner of the appellation of Chablis, was founded as recently as 2019, by Léa Schaller. Léa is the 3rd generation of producers in her family, and 2022 is just her third harvest. 

After leaving university in Strasbourg, Léa worked in the music business in Paris, before returning home to Préhy to help run the family vineyards. However, she soon decided to abort the family’s business of selling their grapes to La Chablisienne, the much respected local co-op, and go alone. So she returned to school to obtain a degree in viticulture and winemaking, and built a new winery, naming it Orion, after a song by Metallica, her favourite band.
