Vaillons is one of the largest Climats in the Chablis Premier Cru appellation, with eight Climats subdividing it further. Les Lys, Scher, Vaillons, Chatains and Beugnons are on the upper part of the hill, while Les Epinottes, Roncires and Mlinots are on the lower part. Because of its south and east exposure, Vaillons mostly enjoys morning sun. Its shallow soil lets the grapes ripen quickly. The subsoil displays a high concentration of Kimmeridgian limestone with some very compact slabs in some places.
