What are the key differences between a Chablis Grand Cru and Petit Chablis wine?

A

Grand Cru comes from mostly Kimmeridgian soils with a nice balance of clay and limestone.

Petits Chablis comes from vines planted on more Portlandien soil with hard limestone rock and are generally more exposed to the elements.

Stylistically Petit Chablis is the leanest and least likely style to see new oak. Grand Cru is the richest and most concentrated and more likely to see new oak.
