| Description | The Fourchaume Premier Cru vineyard lies on a slope that benefits from southwestern exposure, protecting it from the North wind. It is undoubtedly the most renowned of the Chablis Premier Crus, and certainly the most powerful. Its complexity and richness make it an excellent wine for laying down Vineyard and terroir 100% Chardonnay The vineyards of Chablis are located in northern Burgundy’s Yonne department. The vines in the “Fourchaume” vineyard are planted on southwest-facing slopes. Deep calcareous clay soil with Kimmeridgian subsoil.

Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged on fine lees in the same containers for approximately 10 months. Before being bottled, the wines are blended before undergoing a final ageing period in stainless steel tanks. Serving This wine is ideal paired with fish or white meat in sauce. Serve at 10-12°C. |
