The wine
Village Chablis is the appellation at its most direct: no oak to speak of, no cru to explain, just Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian limestone.
Chablis sits on Kimmeridgian limestone, a 150-million-year-old seabed packed with fossil oyster shells, which is the source of the flinty, saline character that separates it from every other Chardonnay. The brothers Damien and Romain Bouchard farm most of their vines organically, which in a region as prone to frost and mildew as Chablis is a considerably harder undertaking than it sounds.
