Chablis grand cru

The seven grand cru vineyards extend along the right bank of the Serein River, covering 101 hectares of limestone-rich slopes in northern Burgundy.

The Chablis Grand Cru designation received its Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status in 1938, marking its recognition at the highest tier of wine classification.

Each of the seven climats - Preuses, Bougros, Vaudésir, Grenouilles, Valmur, Les Clos, and Blanchot - produces distinct Chardonnay wines that reflect their specific terroir.

The vineyards maintain strict production regulations, including lower maximum permitted yields and higher minimum potential alcohol levels compared to standard Chablis wines.

The Kimmeridgian soil contains millions of fossilized seashells from the Upper Jurassic period, contributing to the wine's mineral characteristics.
