La Chablisienne, Chablis, Burgundy wines

«Appellations | Our tasting notes»

The terroirs that produce the wines of La Chablisienne represent the whole Chablis appellation area.

The soils, formed in the main in Kimmeridgian times, are made up of alternating marl and marly limestone with deposits of tiny oysters. They stamp the wines of La Chablisienne with outstanding personality, hallmarked by an unusual mineral edge. Each terroir , clearly identified and circumscribed, produces unique wines, with different characters and potential for ageing. The Petit Chablis show perfectly from one to three years, the Chablis require from two to five years depending on the particular wine. Chablis Premiers Crus and Chablis Grands Crus, true wines for ageing, need to be kept for five to ten years.

Of vital importance to the expression of a vineyard plot’s singular character is its exposure, most of the climats belonging to La Chablisienne benefiting from a south-easterly, southern or south-westerly aspect.

Our graphic standards have changed: new logo, new colours, new labelling and sealing. We hope you’ll like it and you’ll give us your opinion. Meanwhile, please notice that this new identity is based on the notion of “mineral touch”! So we wish to put the typicity of our Chablis to front, their clean and elegant notes, their character. As a foretaste, here is an illustration of this unusual identity: a range of four postcards to show the colour of La Chablisienne.

Where is it?

At home. A great mosaic of “climats” yielding pure emotion, the mineral touch.

Who is it?

Somebody from here. A wine grower who gives birth to wines that time never stop to develop the characters.

What is it?

A mythical place where there is always light, a symbol for all of us….

Mineral touch

Since 1923 in Chablis, in Burgundy, the meticulous care of the vine growers working under the standard of La Chablisienne give birth to wines that time never stop to develop the characters. Our wines are produced from a mosaic of plots of land. They yield pure emotion, the mineral touch.
