Soil types in Chablis
-(Fossil name?) |
This area is predominantly calcareous clay, and has two major soil types, Kimmeridgian and Portlandian. Kimmeridgian, which is found only in Chablis and the Bay of Kimmeridge, England, is a sticky mixture of clay and limestone, w/ a high proportion of fossilized oyster shells (Exogyra virgula). Portlandian soil is a layer found covering the Kimmeridgian in places. This layer is high in calcium, but with little clay and fossils, and is regarded as not having the same complexity. All Grand Crus are on Kimmeridgian.
