Chablis

1er Cru Fourchaume

The name of the terroir derives from the patibular forks which were used to hang the condemned persons outside of the village.

Vineyard

Located on the right bank of Serein, this terroir, facing South, produces round and powerful wines, while keeping minerality from the kimmeridgian soil. This cuvee is due to blending of grapes in the area of Vaulorent and L'Homme Mort.
