Summary: Fantastic tour of the Chablis wine country with Nick. He is a wine enthusiast and knows the area and the wines well. We especially enjoyed the visit to the domaine making sauvignon blanc, unusual for the Chablis region. We tasted wine at 3 fairly different domaines, had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, and were able to walk around the town of Chablis as well as visit an overlook to see the entire town. We would love to take another tour with Nick.
