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