Chablis Premier Cru Chardonnay

Chablis Premier Cru refers to Chardonnay wines from designated vineyard sites in Chablis, a district of northern Burgundy. They are dry wines often marked by pronounced acidity and citrus flavors, with mineral or saline impressions that appeal to drinkers seeking a less overtly rich expression of the grape. Flint-like aromas and lemon notes can occur, although individual wines differ with producer and age. The Premier Cru designation identifies a vineyard classification rather than a single bottle or uniform style.

These wines suit drinkers interested in how site and winemaking shape Chardonnay, including examples with the structure to develop in bottle. Oak use and aging on lees vary, so the category cannot be defined by their absence. Chablis also comes from a different appellation than Puligny-Montrachet and should not be presented as a wine from that village.
