Chablis
De Wikignôle.
The Chablis region is the northernmost wine district of Burgundy, France. The grapevines around the town of Chablis are almost all Chardonnay, making a dry white wine renowned for the purity of its aroma and taste.
The northern location (48°N) means that Chablis wines have more acidity and less fruit flavors than other Chardonnays, but their pure, minerally style has great elegance. They often have a "flinty" note, sometimes described as "goût de pierre à fusil" (gunflint). Chardonnay is known locally as "Beaunois", "the vine from Beaune".
