| | Augusta Georgia: Features:Next time, order Chablis and toast the region 03/20/02 |
 | | Chablis is nominally part of Burgundy, though it's closer to Champagne, 20 miles to the north, than to Burgundy, 60 miles to the southeast across the Morvan hills. |
 | | The bedrock of Chablis, in both senses of the word, lies in its limestone and clay Kimmeridgean soil, the main feature of which is an infinitesimal multitude of tiny fossilized oyster shells. |
 | | The Chablis "Vieilles Vignes" 1998, a village wine made from 60-year-old vines, is clean, fresh and earthy, elegant and a bit austere until the winsome floral elements emerge. |
