A Journey through Chablis Grand Cru

I recently taught two classes on Chablis Grand Cru at one of my favorite local wine shops, Compline. The classes included all 7 climats within Chablis Grand Cru from the 2022 vintage from 7 different producers. One would assume that anyone paying $175 for a class focused entirely on Chablis Grand Cru would have a grasp on the region, and many did. But there were also lovers of the style and region that had never tasted the top expressions. Many were unaware of its rich topographical history, or how long Chablis Grand Cru can age and improve. Even more were surprised to find that Chablis Grand Cru, in general, provides one of the best values in Burgundy for both quality and longevity.
