The wine region of Chablis 1er Cru 'Fourchaume'
Flagship Premier Cru climat on the right bank of the Serein (Homme Mort, Vaupulent, Cote de Fontenay, Vaulorent): 100% Chardonnay on clay-limestone soils between 130 and 200 m, west/south-west exposure. Whites prized for sensuality and ripe fruit — golden robe with green reflections, honeyed aromas of acacia, almond and hazelnut, mineral notes of gunflint and undergrowth. Cellaring 3-10 years, one of the most generous Premiers Crus.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
Champagne made only from the Chardonnay grape. The expression has been somewhat overused by the intensive use made of it by certain large distributors of white table wines (or sparkling wines) who were thus seeking to promote their product.
