The Chablis region is the northernmost wine district of Burgundy, France. The grapevines around the town of Chablis are almost all Chardonnay, making a dry white wine renowned for the purity of its aroma and taste.Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée was designated on 13th January 1938, but the junior appellation of Petit Chablis was not designated until 5th January 1944. In fact the vineyards are covered by four appellations, reflecting all-important differences in soil and slope in this northerly region:Serein, most facing either southwest or southeast. The main block lie SW of the town, on the left bank of the valley, but the better ones are on the right bank by the Grand Crus. Several of the more famous ones absorbed less famous neighbours in the 1980s. In 1960 there was more Premier Cru wine produced than basic Chablis, although this has reversed as acreage of the latter has increased faster than the former. With its hue of green and gold, its penetrating aroma and its unique combination of elegance, nerve and flintiness, it is unsurpassed. It also has an excellent potential for ageing, and after 5 or 6 years, the wine develops even greater, more complex flavours. The northern location (48°N) means that Chablis wines have more acidity and less fruit flavours than other Chardonnays, but their pure, minerally style has great elegance. They often have a "flinty" note, sometimes described as "goût de pierre à fusil" (gunflint). Chardonnay is known locally as "Beaunois", "the vine from The Grand Crus, the best vineyards, all lie in one small area just north of the town.On the map in the listing photographs the vineyards are coloured red.
