The
village of Chablis gives its name to
one of the most famous white wine in France.
Chablis is located at the north of the Burgundy region.
Chablis wine
is made of Chardonnay grape. Over there people
called it Beaunois, taking the name from the
close-by wine region of Beaune.
Chardonnay
grow on a limestone soil rich with fossils
and specially oysters. A long time ago, a sea
covered Burgundy and Chablis.
Chablis wine
is brisk and fruity, very dry and with a refreshing
acidity. In the nose, there are flavors of
green apple and lemon. In the mouth Chablis
delivers aromas of vanilla, lemon and linden.
When
older, Chablis has a golden color and is more
spicy.
Chablis
is recommended with grilled fish but is also
a good companion with white meat and even curry
or tandoori.
