Chablis — The Mineral Purity of White Burgundy
Located in the far north of Burgundy, Chablis offers one of the purest and most recognisable expressions of Chardonnay. Its dry white wines are admired for their freshness, precision, aromatic clarity and distinctive limestone character.
More taut, crystalline and often more saline than many other white Burgundies, Chablis is equally suited to fine dining, cellar ageing or a refined gift. Estates such as Domaine Raveneau and Dauvissat rank among the most sought-after names in the appellation.
Chablis reveals Chardonnay in a pure, vertical and luminous style. It is an essential appellation for lovers of precise, saline and elegant white wines, equally capable of enhancing fine cuisine or gaining nuance with time.

A Pure and Precise Chardonnay
In Chablis, Chardonnay does not seek opulence. It expresses itself in a more direct, fresh and incisive register. The wines often evoke lemon, green apple, white flowers, chalk, wet stone and, at times, a very distinctive iodine note.
This identity is shaped by a cool northern climate and limestone soils, particularly Kimmeridgian marl. The combination of freshness, marine sediment and controlled ripeness gives the wines their clean profile, tension and long, saline finish.
Raveneau and Dauvissat, Two Legendary Names
Domaine Raveneau is one of the most iconic names in Chablis. Its wines are sought after for their depth, precision and ability to age with remarkable harmony, especially across the Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
Dauvissat represents another major interpretation of the appellation, producing chiselled, deep and long-lived wines. Their style combines pure fruit, limestone tension, salinity and graceful evolution.
For gifting: Raveneau and Dauvissat are immediately recognised by lovers of great white Burgundy.
For the table: Chablis pairs beautifully with oysters, fine fish, shellfish, sushi, poultry in cream sauce and goat’s cheese.
For collecting: Premier Crus and Grands Crus from top estates offer a rare combination of tension, depth and longevity.
The Chablis Appellations
The Chablis vineyard is structured around four levels of appellation. This hierarchy makes it possible to choose a wine according to the desired occasion: immediate pleasure, refined dining, cellar ageing or a great white Burgundy bottle.
A fresh and accessible dry white wine, marked by citrus, white flowers and crisp fruit.
A pure, precise and mineral wine, with bright freshness and a clean finish.
Deeper and more persistent, with greater volume, tension and aromatic relief.
A great white wine for ageing, broader, more structured and capable of long development depending on the estate and vintage.
Style, Serving and Ageing Potential
In its youth, Chablis is admired for its brightness, energy and aromas of citrus fruit, green apple, white flowers and chalk. With age, the finest cuvées develop notes of delicate honey, hazelnut, dried fruit, warm stone and light smoke.
Chablis is generally served between 10 and 12 °C. Premier Crus and Grands Crus may be served slightly less chilled after a few years in the cellar, allowing more texture and depth to emerge.
Food Pairings with Chablis
Thanks to its freshness and precision, Chablis is a natural partner for seafood: oysters, shellfish, langoustines, prawns, raw fish, ceviche, sole, turbot, roasted sea bass or scallops.
More ambitious cuvées also pair beautifully with poultry in cream sauce, lobster, delicate risottos, fine vegetables, goat’s cheese and pressed cheeses. Their balance makes them particularly well suited to refined and precise cuisine.
