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.

Cellaring 3-10 years, one of the most generous Premiers Crus.

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.

Must obtained in excess of the 2 550 litres authorised for a weight of 4 000 kilos of grapes. The first 2 050 litres constitute the cuvée and the next 500 litres the taille. The rebêche represents 1 to 3 % of the total volume and must be distilled or used to make ratafia.
