Chablis, situated near Auxerre in the Yonne department, is among the northernmost vineyards of Burgundy. It is thus nearly at the gates of Champagne and the Paris region; which it greatly relied on to create its reputation. Slightly removed from the « heart » of Burgundy’s vineyards, the region of Chablis started to prosper in the 19th century thanks to its waterways; the Yonne and Seine rivers.
It is characterized by producing exclusively white Chardonnay wines and by its geology which is believed to date back to the Kimmeridgian period.
- Soil and subsoil from the upper and middle Kimmeridgian period.
- Alternating layers of limestone and marls.
- Southern exposure.
- Altitude of 250 meters.
