From September 29 to October 13, 2025, Chablis Wines is partnering with Sydney hospitality group Merivale to present Chablis Week: a celebration of France’s most prestigious white wine region across 16 of Sydney’s top dining venues.
From Mimi’s in Coogee to Mr. Wong in the CBD and The Surf Deck at Collaroy, participating venues are offering Chablis and oyster pairings ($90 – $110), featuring wines from the Petit Chablis, Chablis, and Chablis Premier Cru appellations.
Called Chablis Week but in fact running for a fortnight, it’s a chance to explore the full character and complexity that make these wines unique. The wine producers involved include Famille Grossot, William Fevre, Domaine Antoine et Laura Robin, Julien Brocard, Domaine du Colombier, and Prieure Saint-Côme.
Guests can choose between six or 12 complimentary oysters, paired with specially selected bottles of Chablis, showcasing the minerality, purity, and precision that Chablis is known for. See below for details of what the individual venues are offering.
Chablis and oysters: a classic pairing
Located in the northernmost part of Burgundy, Chablis is renowned for producing still wines exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Shaped by the unique Kimmeridgian subsoils and cool climate, it offers a world of possibilities in every glass.
From Petit Chablis’ lively, zesty freshness, perfect for casual enjoyment, to the elegance of Chablis, known for its finesse and minerality, and the depth and complexity of Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru, each sip offers a new way to explore flavour.
Chablis is an extraordinarily versatile variety and its pairing with oysters is timeless. Many would say it is a match made in heaven. But the venues are also encouraging diners to consider food pairings beyond that of just oysters. Delicate sashimi, fresh vegetables, creamy cheeses, and poultry are among the pairings recommended.
With a distinct mineral profile, vibrant acidity, and a commitment to sustainability, Chablis reflects the purity of its terroir and the expertise of its winemakers. In 2024, Australia became the 10th largest market for Chablis, with over half a million bottles enjoyed across the country.
