The history of wine-making in Chablis goes back to 865 AD with the development
of vineyards by the monks of Saint-Martin-de-Tours on slopes facing the Serein River that cuts
through that village. At that time and for the centuries read more...that followed, the Chablis wine trade grew
substantially thanks to the waterways that made it possible to supply Paris from Auxerre.
With the French Revolution, estates changed hands but remained successful,
and the total vineyard surface area reached 38,000 hectares. The end of the 19th century
saw the coming of phylloxera in 1887, which wreaked havoc and reduced the vineyards to
almost nothing.
It was only at the beginning of the 1960s, when the Chablis vineyard surface area was less
than 1,000 hectares, that Chablis wine production took off again with the growth of mechanization
and setting up of anti-frost systems (another plague for the vines of the region).
The current productive vineyard surface area is 4,580 hectares.    (hide)

Chardonnay is probably my least favorite grape unless the wine has bubbles. But I found the Chablis to be rather good with a nice tart citrus bite.

My group found this wine buttery on the palate, cut with a fresh, lemony end. It's a good summer white- refreshing, with a slight linger on the palate.

Anyone who thinks they don't like chardonnay should give this a shot-- lots of mineral, crisp fruit flavors, nice white burgundy.
