I am right now translating a passage from Theroux's 'The Great Railway Bazaar' to Bulgarian. I got this sentence: "It's a very drinkable Chablis, not all chalky - the ones they export often are, you know."
I've searched the Web and all the dictionaries I have, but I couldn't find what does chalky mean for a wine. I believe it's a winery term, but I know nothing about it. Can someone please explain it a little more detailed?
If I omit this sentence the editor will translate it but I got really interested in that so I would be really grateful if someone had an idea about it.
