MAIN Arrow to Wine Directory Wine Arrow to  Wines of Europe Europe Arrow to  Wines of FranceFrance Arrow to  Wines of the Chablis region of France Chablis

The appellation "Chablis" like the name "Champagne" is a limited appellation, and the official right to call wine Chablis is restricted to 19 communities in Burgundy covering an area 20 kilometers wide and 15 long.

The approximately 10,000 acres that make up the appellation are ranked according to four classifications - most notably the Grand Cru Chablis, which is produced only in seven vineyards; and Premier Cru Chablis, grown in 40 vineyards. Chablis vineyards are found on the steeper hillsides and Petit Chablis on the lower flat land.

For the connosieur, the mix of chalky limestone and clay - found only near the village of Chablis - produces a wine from the Chardonnay grape not quite like any other....


The Chablis Region of France and its Classifications
- Cellarnotes breaks down the areas where Chablis is grown in France with a good explanation of the Grand Crus, Premier Crus, Chablis and Petit Chablis areas.

Chablis - The Ultimate Chardonnay - Daniel Rogov pens an article that talks about the difference between Chablis and other Chardonnays offering a few suggestions of wines to try and some food combinations that you may want to sample.

Burgundy- Chablis - Terroir France provides information on where Chablis is produced including the soils and cru information. They also add a bit of background on the tastes you can expect from a real Chablis and some of the cheeses that make a good match.

Chablis... For the Record - If your experience with Chablis has made you believe that it is a cheap California wine served at the better fast food restaurants, this article will set you straight. The real Chablis wines are some of the best examples of Chardonnay that you can find... and they don't come in a box or from anywhere but the Chablis region.

The Wines of Chablis - Chablis.net covers the wines, the vineyards, the town of Chablis and the history of the region and adds a section on the Chardonnay grape that is the basis of the world's finest Chablis wines.
