The 1942 map by Louis Larmat of Chablis and the Grand Cru vineyards within the iconic Burgundy wine region is a beautifully detailed and historically significant representation of one of France’s most prestigious white wine areas. As part of Larmat’s celebrated cartographic series dedicated to the great wine regions of France, this map illustrates with exceptional clarity and elegance the terroir-driven viticulture of Chablis, emphasizing the unique characteristics that have made it world-renowned.
Situated in the northernmost part of Burgundy, the Chablis region is celebrated for its crisp, mineral-driven white wines made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Larmat’s map highlights the topographical contours, vineyard boundaries, and soil compositions, notably the Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, which are central to the distinct expression of Chablis wines. Most importantly, it delineates the revered Grand Cru climats—Les Clos, Vaudésir, Valmur, Les Preuses, Blanchot, Bougros, and Grenouilles—each marked with detailed placement on the slopes overlooking the Serein River.
The map’s aesthetic balance between scientific precision and artistic beauty is unmistakable. Larmat incorporates refined typography, vineyard icons, and decorative cartouches, creating a functional tool for wine professionals and an exquisite collector’s item for enthusiasts. The carefully rendered features provide insights into how aspect, elevation, and microclimate influence the quality and character of the wines from each cru.
This 1942 Chablis map not only serves as a testament to Burgundy’s viticultural heritage, but also captures a moment in time when French wine geography was being systematically documented and celebrated. As such, it remains a valuable historical artifact, reflecting the deep-rooted connection between land, grape, and craftsmanship. Louis Larmat’s work continues to inspire admiration for the terroir-driven excellence that defines Chablis and its Grand Crus.
