Chablis

1er Cru Fourchaume

The name of the terroir derives from the sinister fork which was used to execute the condemned persons outside of the village.

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.

Vineyard

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