Insights:
Chablis itself is a very well respected wine, strong tastes and often ages remarkably well, in some cases at its best at about 10 years of age. Chablis is known for its oak aging, but there are producers that move away from that, as the trends among (white) wine drinkers are changing. It compares well with the qualities of the Burgundy wines, which are situated approx. 50 miles and more to the south.
