Chanson Chablis Fourchaumes

The Chanson Chablis Fourchaumes comes from one of the most renowned Premier Cru sites in Chablis — and you can taste it. Cool minerality, taut acidity, clear fruit: a Pinot Blanc terroir that is second to none.

Maison Chanson is one of the oldest négociant houses in Burgundy, founded in 1750 in Beaune. Since its acquisition by the Bollinger Group, the house has been managed with a clear focus on terroir expression. The Fourchaumes site is located northeast of Chablis, on the characteristic Kimmeridgian limestone with its embedded oyster fossils — the geological foundation for the typical salty tone in the glass.

On the nose, the wine shows white flowers, green apple, and citrus zest. On the palate, a precise, almost cutting acidity follows, underpinned by a fine chalky mineral tone. The finish is long, salty, and dry — without any heaviness.
