Chablis 1er cru, Fourchaume, La Chablisienne

Fourchaume is considered one of the most approachable Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis – with more body and richness than many others, without sacrificing the typical Chablis minerality. This wine from La Chablisienne perfectly captures this essence.

La Chablisienne is a winegrowers' cooperative that has cultivated around a quarter of the entire Chablis appellation since 1923 – including Grands and Premiers Crus in prime locations. For years, the cooperative has consistently focused on quality rather than volume and is considered a reliable source for varietal, vineyard-specific Chablis.

In the glass, the Fourchaume displays a pale straw yellow with green reflections. The nose offers white blossoms, honeysuckle, and ripe citrus notes, along with a mineral undertone reminiscent of limestone and damp slate. On the palate, it is silky and balanced: ripe pear, white peach, a crisp acidity, and a long, floral finish with a saline aftertaste.
