Almost all Chablis wines are grown on a limestone plateau, and come from a single grape variety, Chardonnay. The soils of the Premier Crus and Grand Crus are composed of a sub-layer of Kimmeridgian (fossilized oysters), which lends the minerality and complexity so characteristic of Chablis wines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis\"><strong>&gt; Discover our Chablis wines in stock<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li lang=\"fr-FR\">\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">How to enjoy a Chablis wine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Chablis wines are rather fine and mineral, with a lemony finish. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">For <\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\"><b>Chablis &amp; Petit Chablis<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">If you like, you can serve the wines at a temperature of 8\u00b0. Fresh, aromatic wines can withstand this temperature. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">With regard to <\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\"><b>Premiers Crus &amp; Grands Crus<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"fr-FR\">In this case, it's best to serve them at around 9\u00b0-10\u00b0. A slightly higher temperature is less likely to break down the molecules, so the wines retain their full aromatic potential. It is of course preferable to wait 6-8 years, or even longer, before tasting them. Evolving Chardonnay gives off aromas of earth and white mushroom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<ul>\n<li lang=\"fr-FR\">\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">What to eat with a Chablis wine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>&gt; Petit-Chablis<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">It's interesting to seek out the wine's freshness and liveliness to match it with a dish. As an aperitif, for example, with nibbles or raw vegetables. You can also accompany it with a slightly spicy guacamole toast.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>&gt; Chablis<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Like Petit-Chablis, Chablis can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but like its little sister, Chablis is more opulent while retaining its lemony finish. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Favour fish dishes. Japanese dishes are ideal for this! Sushi, sashimi: the fat of the fish balances with the freshness of the wine, giving way to white fruit and floral aromas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis?refinementList%5Bid_f_24%5D%5B0%5D=Premiers%20Crus\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>&gt; Chablis Premier Cru<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">This time, there's a real difference between Chablis Premier Cru and \"classic\" Chablis. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Premiers Crus are much finer and more delicate. That's why they need to be accompanied by a finer dish too. White-fleshed fish accompanied by a butter sauce are perfect for this. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Even if it's not traditional to pair them with a Chablis, asparagus can bring a touch of bitterness that will enhance the wine's minerality.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis?refinementList%5Bid_f_24%5D%5B0%5D=Grands%20Crus\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>&gt; Chablis Grand Cru<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">The holy grail of Chablis vineyards: the Grands Crus benefit from the affluence of the Serein and the idyllic quality of the soil and subsoil to produce wines with great ageing potential. It is therefore preferable to wait a few years before opening a Chablis Grand Cru (around 5-6 years in average years and over 10 years in the best vintages). When we release a bottle of this caliber, it goes without saying that we propose more prestigious dishes. Sweetbreads lend themselves well to this. Very fine, creamy and round, it goes well with Chablis, which brings mushroom notes (a sign of Chardonnay evolution) and a little pep on the finish. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">You can also serve it with noble shellfish such as lobster or prawns.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis\"><strong>&gt; Discover our Chablis wines in stock<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chablis wines There are four AOC Chablis wines, all produced in the Yonne department.
