Chablis

Experience the pure expression of Chablis with our wonderful selection of Chablis Wines, celebrated for their crisp mineral flavours and elegant acidity. 

Our collection features beautiful wines that epitomise the harmony of tradition and the ground in which these white grapes are grown in. Each bottle reflects the distinct limestone and clay soils that define this prestigious region.

Chablis, a distinguished wine region in Burgundy, France, is synonymous with premium Chardonnay. Known for its unique terroir that imparts a distinct minerality to its wines, Chablis produces whites that are appreciated worldwide for their purity, vibrancy, and complexity.

Understanding Chablis:

  • Terroir and Its Impact: The Chablis region's soil is rich in Kimmeridgian clay, containing millions of tiny marine fossils that lend a flinty note to its wines. This mineral backbone is a signature trait of Chablis, making it distinctly recognisable.
  • Winemaking Traditions: Explore how Chablis winemakers emphasize the natural characteristics of the Chardonnay grape, often eschewing oak to maintain the wine's crisp and sharp profile.
  • Climatic Influences: The cool climate of the region helps preserve the grape’s natural acidity, which is key to the freshness and ageability of Chablis wines.
