Clarifying Chablis: Origins & Importance of Climat & Vintage

The DNA of the Chablis winegrowing region lies in its climats – a unique combination of specific terroir and geography impacting the style, finesse and character of Chablis across the left and right banks. As one of Hong Kong’s most revered wines, join Master of Wine Debra Meiburg and Official Bourgogne Wine Ambassador Ivy Ng to taste, appreciate and distinguish climat and vintage. SPIT’s September workshop “Clarifying Chablis: Origins & Importance of Climat & Vintage” we’ll feature a line-up of 12 top Chablis – five 2017’s from different climats, plus seven examples of Petit Chablis and Chablis from two emblematic vintages: 2018 and 2019. Dig deeper into the origins and influence of climat and vintage to amp-up your knowledge and expertise – perfect points for sharing with trade and consumer clientele.
