Description
The curving slope of the Fourchaume Premier Cru vineyard provides producers with subtle but distinct variations in exposure within the site, allowing them to tailor very specific expressions. The superior-quality chalk and limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils produce a notably round, lemony and mineral wine that makes the site one of the most recognizable in Chablis. This will be an elegant, refined wine that will offer a crisp, flavourful articulation of why Chablis is so special.

Tasting Notes
The Fourchaume premier cru vineyard comprises chalk and limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils that, in concert with the site's curving slope, encourage complexity and elegance in the wines. The 2018 has a delicate floral note, with layered suggestions of lemon citrus, white peach and a smoky-flinty minerality. Complex and rich with a lovely, long finish, this will be a great pairing for oysters or ceviche. (Vintages panel, Jan. 2020)
