Chablis

Nestled in Burgundy's northern reaches lies Chablis, the stronghold of iconic age-defying Chardonnay’s renowned for their enduring mineral essence. An ancient wine-producing haven with an illustrious history spanning eighteen centuries, Chablis is more than just a region; it is a sacred land representing the ethereal concept of terroir. Revered as "one of the world's unique expressions of Chardonnay" by Wine Spectator, the wines emerge from prehistoric Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Chablis’s wines, with their flinty, steely character kissed by a refreshing chalky minerality and mouthwatering acidity represent one of the most striking expressions of Burgundy. The  region's top terroirs yield some of the globe's most compelling white wines, capable of rivaling the grandest Chardonnays of the revered Côte d'Or. Enthusiasts worldwide clamor for these distinctive, mineral-laden wines, with luminaries like Vincent Dauvissat and François Raveneau leading the charge.
