Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This is a fairly large and well-regarded vineyard with gentle slope and less direct sun exposure. The wine is matured in large oak barrels as well as stainless steel tank, with the objective of producing a well-balanced and approachable result.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began with dry weather on September 13th, and the small yields arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
With a broadly textured and supple expansive mouthfeel, this gently charms with classic stony citrus nuances. Complexity and elegance are seamlessly integrated to produce a welcoming wine to drink upon release.
