WINEMAKING

Chablis Premier Cru « Fourchaume » is fermented in stainless steel vats followed by a post-alcoholic fermentation racking. Maturing in stain less steel tanks (1/3) brings freshness, minerality and preserves the fruit. It is associated with an ageing in oak barrels for 12 months to bring fatness and complexity (2/3).

 

TASTING NOTE
