Description Chablis lies along the southern extremity of the Paris basin, which stretches across northern France and the Channel to southern England, including the village of Kimmeridge in Dorset. Sedimentary soils formed from an Upper Jurassic sea-bed about 180 Millions years ago. The composition of the soil is alternating layers of very compact and hard chalky limestone and softer clay that is embedded with fossilized marine plants and animals. Their Chablis is produced from vineyards planted on the hillsides, from the villages of Chablis, Préhy and Villy.
