Chablis is a wine region located in the northernmost part of Burgundy, about 100 miles southeast of Paris. It is exclusively dedicated to the production of white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. The region is divided into four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Chablis is known for producing steely, mineral-driven wines with high acidity and distinctive freshness.
The terroir of Chablis is defined by its Kimmeridgian soil, a mixture of limestone, clay, and fossilized oyster shells dating back to the Jurassic period. This unique soil composition, combined with the cool climate, imparts the characteristic minerality and flinty notes to Chablis wines. The region's northerly latitude results in a marginal climate for grape growing, contributing to the wines' high acidity and lean profile. This terroir is fundamental to the crisp, precise, and unmistakable style of Chablis.
