How to read a label

A special label


Before choosing your Chablis wine, learn to understand it through the label. Some messages are compulsory on wine packaging but a label can contain much, much more...

 

For imported wines, the name of the importer is obligatory.


The words “Domaine” and “Château” are exclusively reserved for wines produced from grapes vinified at the place where they are grown.
