Wines from Chablis are classified as follows: In recent years, the overall reputation of this region's wine has climbed, thanks to a rigid classification system that aimed at clearly stating a wine's origin - and, therefore, its quality - on the label, to preserve Chablis' good name. Cultivated acres significantly decreased (from roughly 100,000 acres in the whole Yonne départment at the end of 1800s to 10,000 acres nowadays in the Chablis region), but soil, climate and winemakers' expertise did not. Terroir in Chablis, however, didn't change.
But the region fell victim to a phylloxera epidemic that damaged most of the vineyards. Until the nineteenth century, vineyards occupied a larger area around the small town of Chablis, on the Serein River about halfway between Dijon and Paris. In the Jurassic era, the sediment-enriched clay of the Chablis region began to form, and it's this clay that gives Chablis wine its unique elegance, freshness and complexity.
