White french wine made from the chardonnay grape in the northern section of Burgundy.

The Chablis vineyard is situated in the North of Burgundy near the town of Auxerre in the Yonne department. It covers about 3500 hectares (8400 acres) in twenty different villages, including that of Chablis, from which the wine gets its name. The vines are planted on the slopes which are situated along both banks of the river Serain, a small tributary of the river Yonne. A South / South-East exposure helps give good ripening conditions to the grapes. The soil is composed of chalk and marl from the Jurassic period covered with pebbles. Chardonnay is the allowed grape variety in this region. The Chablis vineyard is very sensitive to spring frosts. In the United States, low priced jug wines use the name Chablis with no control of origin or content.
