Chablis wines have not been spared from Japan’s declining wine consumption. Despite this slowdown, Japan remains a top 5 Market. Exports to this market have reached their lowest volume in a decade: -13% between 2023 and 2024 for Petit Chablis and Chablis; -12% (2024/2023) for Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru.

Bourgogne white wines have always held a significant share in the Japanese market, accounted for 42.4% of the total volume of French AOC white wines exported. Chablis wines contribute greatly to this, accounting for 40% of all Bourgogne white wines exported to Japan.
