CAPLEIA

BIVB - Wines from Chablis

"Created in August 2024 by Baptiste Gueguen, while he was still a student, Capleia first began as a clothing brand inspired by the world of wine and made from eco-responsible materials. Jeanne subsequently expanded the project by launching a range of wines under the Capleia brand. These wines, from the Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru appellations, are the expression of their terroir and vinified using a low-interventionist method.


Jeanne Gueguen quickly joined the adventure. Together, they share a common goal: to demystify wine, make it accessible, bring a new vision of the world of wine to the young people of their generation, and offer them the opportunity to discover, marvel at, and understand the Chablis terroir.


Both originally from Chablis, Jeanne and Baptiste felt the call of their roots and chose to return to their roots. The name "Capleia" draws its origins from the ancient name of Chablis, a contraction of two Celtic words: CAB (house) and LEYA (near the woods).


In their desire to share their passion, they plan to organize various events, such as the Capleia Sunset planned for June 28, 2025 at the Bois des Lys."
