Chablis
1er Cru Fourchaume
The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.
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.
