A malo-lactic fermentation was followed by a long maturation on fine lees. A light treatment and filtration were necessary to obtain a clear and stable wine. This wine has not been treated with cold to preserve aromatic finesse. 3048 units were bottled on July 7th 2024, or approximately 22 months after harvest.
Vintage Notes
After a rather mild and dry winter, 2022 begins with Spring frost. Damage remains very limited. An exceptionally warm Spring makes the difference in 2022. The rise in temperatures in May hits the start of vegetation. Mid flower is observed by the end of May, in excellent conditions. Summer is hot and dry (very dry!) and brings us a ripe and perfectly healthy harvest. We harvested our Chablis on September 7th 2022.
Region Notes
'Fourchaume' is one of the most famous Premier Cru of Chablis. Its hillside lies in alongation of hte Grand Crus Hillside. It takes advantage of the same exposure (south-west) and allows a nice maturation even in difficult years.
