Description

Chablis William Fevre 2018

100% Chardonnay

Chablis is by far, one of the most famous white wine from France. (maybe with Sancerre)

Chablis covers around 5000 Has of vines, it is the northern most Burgundy zone and, as such, one of the coolest and vineyards are not reaching the 300 meters above sea level. The Chablis zone is divided, almost in half by the Serein River. And all the grands Cru are together and are located on the northern part of the river and are roughly looking south. Generally speaking the Premiers Cru and Grands Cru are located on slopes and petit Chablis on flatter land. “Kimmeridgean soils are usually for top vineyards, and portlandian soils which are also chalk, but with higher content of clay hence not as warm, for Petit Chablis.

The Chablis is a great classic from France, flinty, dry and unoaked or just a dash of it. Although, it is coming from Burgundy it is pretty different from the, also, famous white such as Puligny-montrachet, Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.
