Chablis is a historic town and wine region in NorthCentralFrance. It produces light, Dry white wines, renowned for their minerality and lively Acidity. AOC Chablis wines are produced exclusively from the Chardonnay grape. The wines of Chablis are made in a rather different style from those produced elsewhere in Burgundy.

The town and its vineyards are located a considerable distance (over 100 kilometers) northwest of the main wine regions of Burgundy, from the Côte de Nuits to the Maconnais. They are actually closer to Sancerre (Loire) and Les Riceys (southern Champagne) and to the city of Paris.
