RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

Nutty smoke and flinty reduction combine enticingly on this wine's expressive nose. The palate is concentrated and even more flinty, with a pervasive saltiness that makes the mouth water. Hazelnut richness from oak seems to intensify the savory depth.

93James Suckling

Lots of sliced lemons, bitters and white pepper in this white with a medium to full body, lovely fruit and a crisp finish.

15Jancis Robinson

Yellow fruits and ripe lemons on the nose. Broad and leesy on the palate.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Chablis, Fourchaume

Fourchaume is a Premier Cru vineyard located just to the north of Chablis’ Grand Crus. The 84-acre hillside parcel is considered one of the best of the Chablis Premier Crus, and some people feel it should be elevated to Grand Cru. Within Fourchaume there are several important climats, or sub-parcels, including Vaupulent, Cote de Fontenay, L’Homme Mort and Vaulorent. The Fourchaume soil is primarily a composition of limestone, clay and fossilized oyster shells.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, Chablis Premier Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
