Produced entirely from Sacy, an old white grape variety once widely planted in the Yonne but now rarely encountered. Known locally as Tressallier in parts of central France, Sacy traditionally produced light, fresh wines and gradually disappeared as Chardonnay and other varieties became dominant. Edmond Chalmeau & Fils has retained a small planting in Chitry, hence the fitting name “Cépage Oublié”. The 2025 is a delicate and energetic expression, with citrus and subtle white fruit, lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish. More than a curiosity, it offers a rare taste of the viticultural history of the Auxerrois.
