Chablis

Chablis is one of the northernmost wine regions in France, along with Alsace and Champagne. In the region, only wines based on Chardonnay are produced - wines that have a very special characteristic and are unmistakable.
The climate in Northern France is cool and the grapes therefore find it difficult to fully ripen, which results in a dry wine with marked acidity and a mineral crispness.
In contrast to white Burgundies, the Chablis have less fat and a lower alcohol percentage - on the other hand, there is a lightness and fine elegance about the wine.
Chablis is located 120 km north of Beaune and is therefore exposed to a sometimes harsher climate than Bougogne, which is why the vintages often vary, just as you should not think that the holy grail is well preserved just because it says Chablis on the bottle.
