About this wine
Description & facts
Planted half in 1964 and half in 1999, this is an elegant, refined fruit-driven wine with a good structured impression on the palate.The Kimmeridgian escarpment of Fourchaume is reputed to produce some of the best Chablis wines and the South West exposure of the vines means that they bask in the warm afternoon sun.

- Tasting note
- Somewhat reserved nose at first but with light notes of soft spice and fine, fresh, chalky minerality. On aeration, the floral aspect of Fourchaume is more noticeable with good aromatic persistence. Beautifully full and suave in the mouth with great density and very long on the palate. Still young at present but holding great promise for the future.
