When you look at map of the French wine regions, it’s easy to see why Sancerre and Chablis have near-identical qualities, since they’re practically sitting on top of one another, the first being in the Loire Valley, the second in Burgundy
They both share near-identical climates and soil (the famous Kimmeridgean soil) which makes them so similar in style. Both are steely and crisp.
However, if we think of Sancerre and Chablis as sisters from another mister, it’s easy to spot which wine is which, even in a blind tasting. That’s because Chablis is always 100 percent Chardonnay, whereas Sancerre is 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc. Chablis is 100% white wine whereas you find absolutely delicious rosé and red Sancerre made of Pinot Noir.
