Saint-Aubin 1er Cru

The Unique Terroir of Chablis AOC

The secret behind the precise and traditionally unoaked style of Chablis lies in its cool climate and the famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which are rich in fossilized marine shells. This geological composition gives the wine its signature tension and mineral backbone. The official classification is divided into four distinct tiers based on vineyard location and quality: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and the highly sought-after Chablis Grand Cru.
