Geographically separated from the rest of the northern wine region, the calcareous soils of the Kimmeridge define the terroir. Here lies Chablis – the coolest subregion of Burgundy and the home of Chardonnays of unparalleled freshness and minerality . The climate bestows upon the wines powerful aromas of green apple, citrus, and flint , with a mineral, almost saline depth. Chablis is Chardonnay in its purest form: pure, precise, and unadorned .
