Chablis
The Chablis region in France lies in the northwest portion of Burgundy and is famous for producing almost solely Chardonnay. Unfortunately, the term Chablis was used in other parts otf the world, most notably California, on the labels of other, inferior white wines damaging Chablis reputation. It is no longer legal to use this term on a wine label outside of Chablis, France. Likewise, it is no longer legal, with the exception of one winery in California, to use the term Champagne on sparkling wine made outside of Champagne, France. -
