Chablis 1er Cru "Fourchaume"
Situation
Chablis
Level
AOC Premier Cru
Grape variety
Chardonnay
"Fourchaume" represents a hundred hectares of the largest premier cru Chablis, located north of the Grand Crus. This southwest facing slope is protected from the north winds. The heat may build up in this place, favoring a departure from early vegetation. The vegetative cycle will thus long, ensuring full maturity, including difficult vintages.
Tasting
This wine has a bouquet of both mineral and floral. It is also amazing due to its fat aspect associated with good acidity on the finish.
Food/wine pairing
This wine eminently suitable for seafood (seafood, fish and Saint-Jacques) and the sausage brioche, snails and
white meats.
Serving and keeping
Serve between 11 and 13°C (52°F - 55°F).
May be enjoyed now or laid down for 6 years.
