 | | First of all, Chablis with a capital C must come from its namesake region in France, which is in northern Burgundy. |
 | | The primary grape grown in Chablis is chardonnay, but the region also makes its white and red wines from pinot noir, pinot blanc, pinot gris, pinot liebault, sauvignon blanc, gamay, cesar, tressot, sacy, aligote and melon de Bourgogne, according to The Sotheby’s New Wine Encyclopedia. |
 | | Traditionally, Chablis is a clear, pale color with a green tinge around the rim, a steely, direct, high-acid wine that takes several years to soften. |
