The climat of Forets is located within Montmains and typical of the left bank vineyards there's no shortage of sunlight allowing for optimal ripeness. Whilst rather flat at the bottom Forets quickly turns into a steep slope towards the top of the hill. Marked by a subsoil that has millions of fossils in the shape of tiny oysters the surface is covered by stones and clay, making the soils poor and thin.

This riveting Forêts shows a confident subtly in the glass with an ultra pale greenish hue and a crisply detailed medium bodied palate with lime, orchard stone fruits, quince and mouth watering saline infused wet rock, delicate clove spice, oyster shell and white flowers. It gains elegant roundness and textural charm with air making for very appealing Chablis.

Wines of Chablis

Arguably the most uniquely tasting Chardonnay in the world, most people are blown away to discover this special type of Chardonnay for the first time. The cool climate region produces wines with more acidity and less fruit flavours, but a unique flinty note derived from the soils.

Although considered a part of the Burgundy wine region, Chablis is closer in distance to Champagne which it shares an exceedingly rare and unique soil with. Kimmeridgian soil is not found anywhere else in the world except in southern England, Champagne and Chablis. A 180-million-year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, this soil type produces wines full of minerality, salinity, intensity, and finesse.

In Chablis they use a similar ranking system to that of Burgundy. From Grand Crus at the top, to Premier Crus, to Chablis and Petit Chablis at the bottom.
