ORIGINChablis, 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 l’Yonne and the 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. The Chablis vineyards are planted on various hills in the valley of Serein, the peaceful river that crosses the region.
- Limestone soil and subsoil dating back to the Kimmeridgian.
- Slightly pronounced incline.
- South-west exposure.
- Altitude of 180 m to 260 m above sea level.
