Chablis France • Private Wine Tasting and Tour of Chablis
We tour the vineyards and town of Chablis, dating back to Roman times and enjoy a private wine tasting at a renowned winemaker such as the family-run Domaine Régnard, which makes the most of the region’s wonderful local terroir to produce high quality wines.
Chablis
On the banks of the River Serein, Chablis is a pretty little village. Called the Golden Gate of Burgundy, it is famous the world over for its white wines. Visitors enter through the turreted towers of the Porte Noël gateway, opening on to narrow stone streets and houses dating from the 14th to 16th century.
St-Martin's collegiate church, started in 1160, was one of the first French churches of Gothic design. It is the miniature copy of the cathedral of Sens.
St-Martin was known as the patron saint of travelers. According to tradition, Joan of Arc nailed down one of her horse's shoes to pay tribute to the famous saint whose relics had been kept in the city of Chablis. The hospice or Hôtel Dieu dates from the 12th century.
The Petit Pontigny is a set of buildings, surrounded by walls, that is the center of all festivities and ceremonies of Chablis and its famous vineyards. The cellar, dating from the 12th century, is now the only original building of what was once the property of the monks of Pontigny.
The St-Cosme priory was built in the 12th century by the monks of the Premontré order. It is said that Joan of Arc slept there, one night in February of 1429, on her way to Chinon.
Chablis Wine Region
Chablis produces the white wine of the same name, one of the most famous in France. The district grows no red grapes. Northernmost in the region of Burgundy, Chablis vineyards must be protected from frost by windmills, sprinkler systems and oil burners.
Chablis Wine
Chablis wine is often imitated, but the imitations rarely resemble the real thing. Grown on limestone, Chablis is a crisp, steely white with flinty mineral flavors. It is brisk, fruity, and very dry, with a refreshing acidity. There are four levels:
1. Grand Cru Chablis, the highest rating available, has been given to seven vineyards. These wines are rich and dry with a combination of butter, nuts and minerals.
2. Grands crus may be matured in oak. Premier Cru designation has been given to 30-odd vineyards in various towns around Chablis. They account for about one-quarter of production.
3. Chablis, without any other designation on the label, means a wine from any of the parishes in the Chablis district.
4. Petit Chablis is a light, less alcoholic wine made in the outlying parts of the district.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especiallly on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.

Loving Chablis
Start your love affair with Chablis here. For those that don't know, the grapevines around the town of Chablis in Burgundy, France are almost all Chardonnay, producing cool, light to medium bodied, approachable luncheon wines. The Wine Guide gents take a look at four wines from two vintages in this episode and remind you of the struck match complexity of this type of wine. While there are some great Chardonnay's coming out of Australia, sometimes it is nice to head overseas for it -- to the northernmost wine district of the Burgundy region, if we are being precise.
2006 Chablis tasting, Chardonnay the way it should be? ...
The Chablis region is the northernmost wine district of the Burgundy region in France and today Gary Vaynerchuk puts these Chardonnay’s to the test, all of which come from the 2006 vintage.
Summer Chablis Offering
It is summertime year round here in South Florida but when things really get how there is nothing better to cool you off than a nice Chablis.
For years many of the self proclaimed American wine aficionados thought that Chablis was a light insipid wine meant for quaffing and if it cost more than four dollars a glass in a restaurant you had the impression that the suave waiter was hustling you. Well, that may not have been true for everyone, the French are still hung up on the fact that the United States has never respected certain namesakes that remain sacred and describe a style, type, and genre of a region's wine. Our country's wine industry has raised our noses to the French and said Boo Hoo.
Chablis is the northernmost region of the Burgundy appellation. The wines coming from this region are 95% white and most of that is Chardonnay. The wines have crisp, racy acidity, and very lean and sometimes tart fruit. Crisp and lean in style rather than big and fat like the wines of the Côte d'Or, the wines of the northern most region in Burgundy are unique and stylistically diverse enough to be mistaken for a sauvignon blanc. The Grand Cru and Premier Cru terroir here is limestoney-chalk, they have more in common with Champagne than the clayey soil of the Cote d'Beaune. The only grape permitted here is Chardonnay, locally known as Beaunois. It must have a minimum alcohol content of 10%, from a yield of 50hl/ha, about 4 tons per acre. The village wines are not keepers, they should be consumed within the first few years, the Premier and Grand Crus, however, can be some of the longest lived wines of this varietal from anywhere in the world.
The Chablis region covers four different appellations -- Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. Despite the world renown recognition of the Chablis name, the post-war lack of workforce, a weak demand and some poor vintages culminated with the disastrous frost of 1956, when the locals were skiing down the what is now the Grand Cru of Les Clos in February. The region was facing extinction. Replanting began on the finer slopes and has continued to expand rapidly during the last two decades. Although further expansion is possible, the true quality of Chablis comes as much from limestoney chalk soil known as Kimmeridgian after the Dorset village of Kimmeridge, as from the Chardonnay grape. One school of thought is in favor of expansion, maintaining that the world-wide demand for Chablis is inexhaustible; the other argues that true Chablis is from that chalky soil and that expansion outside the geographical region should be resisted. A run of good, productive vintages in the 1980's have served to enhance the quality image of Chablis again as we slowly begin to forget the jug wines labeled Chablis from large California producers who should remain nameless. Today the best wines of the region of Chablis are starting to make it back into the cellars of wine collectors. The last four vintages, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been very good excellent. This success has given both the expansionists and the purists further weight to their cause.
For my taste the best vintage among these four is 2010 and most of these wines are now gone from the marketplace but we managed to come across a few things like this premier cru wine from Lupe Cholet for $31.50/bottle this is one of the best values we have ever had in the store from Chablis!!
