DESCRIPTION
Vineyards situation
Chablis is located in the northern part of Burgundy, half way between Dijon
and Paris.
The vineyard size is 3 225 ha. The Premier Cru vineyards represent 20% of the
total size of the Burgundy Premiers Crus.
There are 40 "climats" of Premiers Crus among which Fourchaume.
Characteristics The continental climate (very cold in winter and hot in the summer with frosts in spring) together with the marly limestone soils mould the unique character of Chablis wines.
xWine making
This juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks (50%) and in wooden barrels like all
our Grands Crus from the Côte d'Or area. The wine is then aged in barrels
during 15-18 months before bottling (usually about 30% new oak).
Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy
Pale in colour with a silvery rim. The nose is floral, with notes of honeysuckle
and lime leaf. The palate is taut but shows the vintage's typical balance of
opulent ripeness and lively acidity.
It will match perfectly all sorts of cuisine including vegetable, fish, poultry ...
Preservation
This wine can be drunk quite young but can also age easily up to 10-15 years in
very good conditions of temperature and humidity.
