Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chablis the same as Chardonnay?

Yes and no. Chablis is made from 100% Chardonnay , but the style is completely different from, for example, Meursault or overseas wines. Chablis is more straight, mineral and dry – often without any cask.

How long can Chablis be stored?

Village and Premier Cru keep well for 3–7 years. Grand Cru can age for 10–15+ years and develop nutty, buttery and honey notes.

Is Chablis always out of cask?

Most Chablis is aged in steel or cement to preserve freshness. Some Premier/Grand Crus are given a subtle barrel character – never heavy or toasty.
