The Burgundy wine reality of De Moor Olivier and Alice is committed to showing "the other face" of Chablis, a craft and genuine face aimed at enhancing Aligoté. The winery is located in the small village of Courgis, just a few kilometers southwest of Chablis and included in the namesake AOC.

The small cellar where the wines age is located just below the house where Olivier's grandparents lived.
vineyards planted with Aligoté, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, varieties grown under certified organic farming integrated with the use of biodynamic preparations. The soils are predominantly clayey and calcareous, dating back to the Kimmeridgian geological layer, characterized by an abundant presence of marine fossils. When the grapes have reached full ripeness, manual harvesting of the clusters takes place, which are then processed according to craft and minimal oenological practices.
