Product notes
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.
Production notes
After the grapes are pressed and the juices settled, the musts are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (70%) and oak barrels (30%). 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.
Tasting notes
The first nose exudes aromas of fruit. With exposure to air, toasted, buttery notes surface due to the wine’s oak barrel ageing and give way to a mineral finish. Starts off bold and round on the palate, boasting solid structure and good length. This wine is ideal paired with fish or white meat in sauce.
