Chablis Wines: Petit Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru Chardonnay from Northern Burgundy

Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru or Grand Cru?

Petit Chablis comes from the outer slopes of the district. It is the lightest and freshest style, made to enjoy young, and a great introduction to the region.

Chablis is the largest appellation and the classic style: dry, crisp and mineral. Try Louis Moreau, Laroche Les Chanoines or Louis Latour La Chanfleure.

Chablis Premier Cru comes from named vineyards such as Montmains, Vaillons, Fourchaume and Vau Ligneau. These wines have more depth and texture, and they reward a few years in the cellar.

Chablis Grand Cru comes from just seven vineyards on a single south west facing slope above the town. Our range includes Les Clos and Clos des Hospices from Louis Moreau and Grenouilles from La Chablisienne, rich and powerful wines that can age for well over a decade.

Chablis Producers in Our Range

Louis Moreau is our largest Chablis producer, with wines from every level up to Grand Cru. Domaine Laroche, William Fèvre and La Chablisienne, the region's respected cooperative, add Premier Cru wines of real depth.

Albert Bichot, Joseph Drouhin, Maison Louis Latour and Pascal Robin complete the lineup.

Serving and Food Pairing

Serve Petit Chablis and Chablis well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees, and Premier and Grand Cru a little warmer at 10 to 12 degrees. Chablis is a classic match for oysters, prawns and grilled fish, while the richer crus suit roast chicken, scallops or creamy sauces.

What Kind of Wine Is Chablis? Your Questions, Answered

What kind of wine is Chablis?

Chablis is a dry white wine from the Chablis district in Burgundy. The name refers to the place, not the grape, and every Chablis is made from Chardonnay.

Is Chablis the same as Chardonnay?

All Chablis is Chardonnay, but not all Chardonnay is Chablis. Its cool climate and limestone soils give a leaner, more mineral style than most Chardonnay. Learn more in our French white wine collection.

What is the Australian equivalent of Chablis?

Look for cool climate Chardonnay with little or no oak, especially from Tasmania or the Adelaide Hills. These wines share Chablis' crisp acidity and citrus freshness.
