Chablis
Nestled among the valleys and wooded hilltops, half way between Beaune and Paris, lie the vineyards of Chablis running alongside the pristine Serein Valley. The region stretches over around 20 communes and the vines sink their roots deep into the clay-limestone soils, drawing on them for their distinct mineral characteristics. Chardonnay reigns supreme here where it is used for all Chablis wines which has made them famous over the world.
