The purest expression of the grape, little oak. Hierarchy: lively Petit Chablis, fresh Chablis, more complex Premier Cru (Montée de Tonnerre, Vaillons), 7 age-worthy Grands Crus (Les Clos, Valmur, Bougros…).

Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
