Chablis

Oysters, frost and steel.

Burgundy's northern outpost, closer to Champagne than to Beaune. The oyster shell limestone, the seven grands crus on one south facing hill, the fight over which soils deserve the name, the candles and sprinklers of the frost wars, and the eternal argument between oak and stainless steel.
