From 1.15 hectares of old vines in the heart of Fourchaume, plus a small portion in the climat known as L’Homme Mort at the northern end, this cuvée is, in fact, a blend of three parcels of different aspects, age and rootstock. Indeed, the Domaine’s vines extend over the entire height of the hillside, between approximately 130 and 200 metres, practically up to the forest that tops the hill. Most of the vines were planted between 1959 and 1971, and they typically produce one of the most opulent and layered wines in the cellar. The 2023 was raised in 30% used oak.

Reviews

“More ample and demonstrative than Montmains, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume opens with a deep bouquet of juicy peach, orange oil and mirabelle plum, introducing a wine that’s rich yet precise, full-bodied and animated by a beam of tangy acidity. Beneath the gloss of fruit is a chalky spine that drives a resonant, saline close that is subtly inflected with orange zest. A flamboyant expression of this right-bank site, it stands in stylistic contrast to the tauter, more restrained Montmains.”
