Vintage Wine Name Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023 Vintage 2023 Wine Description Fourchaume is one of the best-known Premier Cru vineyards with soils like those in the Grand Cru vineyards, which share the right bank of the Serein River. Its southwest exposure provides excellent ripening conditions that lead to concentrated grapes with good acidity. This terroir is known for producing voluptuous, powerful wines featuring fruit, flint and a touch of iodine. Region Bourgogne Appellation Chablis 1er Cru AOC Varietal Composition 100% Chardonnay Vineyard Details Right bank of Serein; southwest and west exposure; 135-198 meters. Soils parallel those of the Grand Crus. Tasting notes Notes of flint and flowers lead to a sophisticated, full palate balancing ripe fruit, salinity, and subtle vanilla that evolves and lingers. Pairing notes Pairs well with oysters, mussels, tuna crudo, grilled seafood, ravioli in cream sauce, asparagus risotto and cream soups. Alcohol % 12.5 Aging 16 months on fine lees in 70% stainless-steel tanks and 30% in 400L oak barrels (no more than 50% new oak) SRP 86 Highest Score 95 Wine Enthusiast Highest Score Review Copy Opulent aromas of muddled golden apple, orange marmalade and white peach drive the nose that runs barefoot across a late-summer meadow. The fulsome palate begins with freshly-baked bread and moves into toasted citrus zest and dew-dusted forest floor. A decadent bottling. - Anna-Christina Cabrales Acclaim - 95 Wine Enthusiast
