Denis Race
Denis Race works Chardonnay in Chablis, the northernmost expression of Burgundy's white wine tradition. The region's cool climate and limestone-rich soils shape wines of mineral precision and restrained power. The winery's Chablis offers the appellation's characteristic green-apple acidity and flint-edged character at the village level. Blanchot, a Grand Cru from one of Chablis's most prestigious vineyard sites, brings greater concentration and complexity—the result of south-facing slopes and deeper soil that allow fuller ripeness. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. In Chablis, where unoaked Chardonnay remains the standard, Denis Race's portfolio reflects the region's commitment to terroir-driven expression over oak influence.
