Question: are chablis and chardonnay the same thing?
Answer: Chablis, the wine, is 100% Chardonnay. ... The full expression of terroir is present in the taste of Chablis in a way that's impossible to find in warmer regions, even Chardonnay grown in the great vineyards of Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Tropical, rounded or oaky are never used as descriptors.
