Chablis (French pronunciation: [ʃabli] ⓘ) is a town and commune in the Yonne department[3] in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France.
It lies in the valley of the River Serein.
The village of Chablis gives its name to one of the most famous French white wines.[3] Chablis is made with Chardonnay, a grape that grows particularly well in the region.
Each year the Festival du Chablisien is held May to June in Chablis, featuring classical, jazz, and world music.[5]
The fifth stage of the 2007 Tour de France departed from Chablis towards Autun.
