Chablis Wines: Freshness and Elegant Terroir

The Chablis region, located in northern Burgundy, is known worldwide for its refined white wines made from 100% Chardonnay. The unique combination of chalky soils and cool climate creates fresh, mineral wines with unparalleled elegance. Whether you are a connoisseur or a novice enthusiast, Chablis offers a taste experience you won't soon forget.

The Unique Terroirs of Chablis

What makes Chablis so special is the character of its vineyards. The region is divided into four quality levels: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. Each level offers its own interpretation of the region's distinctive freshness and minerality.

• Petit Chablis: Light and accessible wines with fresh citrus aromas.
• Chablis: Classic wines with more body and notes of green apple and white flowers.
• Chablis Premier Cru: Complex and refined wines with depth and a subtle minerality.
• Chablis Grand Cru: The absolute best, with rich, layered wines that can age and pair perfectly with refined dishes.

Chablis‘ soils consist largely of limestone and clay with fossil remains, known as Kimmeridgian, which provides the wines’ typical minerality.

Characteristics of Chablis Wines

• Fresh Acidity: A refreshing and lively mouthfeel.
• Minerality: Subtle saltiness and an almost chalky texture.
• Elegant Aromas: Tones of citrus, green apple, white flowers and sometimes a hint of honey or butter in older wines.
• Perfect for Food Combinations: Chablis wines pair perfectly with oysters, seafood, goat cheese and light dishes.
