Thousands of wine brands from France have either "Château" or "Domaine" in their names. Château is the French term for a country house or castle and is most commonly used by the wineries of Bordeaux, while the term Domaine, which refers to a territory or empire, is typically associated with the wineries of Burgundy.

Chablis, pronounced cha-BLEE, is 100% Chardonnay. The grapes prosper in north Burgundy, in the cool, semi-Mediterranean climate and clay-limestone soil, and from this perfect setting, the purest Chardonnay in the world is born.

Brut means "dry, raw, unrefined" in French, and specifies a style of champagne that is very low in sugar. This results in champagne that is not particularly sweet and tastes dry on the palate.

If the grapes grow in certain regions and climates, they go well with food and ingredients raised and produced in a similar environment. This formula applies to Spanish Albariño and seafood.
