The village is only 180 kilometres from Paris and is not that big at all. The wine is commonly produced as an unoaked Chardonnay style, although methods of production vary widely, with some producers favouring oak barrel maturation. Chablis is located in the Yonne department, in the very north of the Burgundy region. The resultant wines are usually described as having steely or flinty minerality, with higher acidity than Chardonnay produced in warmer climes. The soil from the area is characterised by Kimmeridigan limestone and chalk.
