“Vaillons”, spelled “valion” in 1429, comes from “small valley” or “vallon”, which gave the eventual name “Vaillon”. “Vaillons” comes from the Latin vallis or valles “space lying between two elevated areas”. This climate is located on the left bank of the Serein with an excellent south-west exposure. This vintage is planted on less clay-like soil than on the right bank of the Serein. It is one of the most famous Chablis on the left bank.
