Edmond Chalmeau et Fils Description
The Chalmeau family started growing vines in Chitry more than two centuries ago. Around 1850, the region became one of the biggest producers of wine in France. Then, at the end of the 19th century came phylloxera and the subsequent devastation of the vineyard.
Chitry-le-Fort is located 13km to the southeast of Auxerre, on the right bank of the Yonne river. This charming Medieval village is notable for its fortified tower and church of Saint-Valérien. It is also a typical winegrowing village set out between cherry orchards, farmland, and 67 hectares of vines.
