Tasting Notes
Maturation
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.
Vinification
After a long pressing and static settling of 12-24 hours, fermentation occurred at 20 degrees celsius using natural yeasts.
Vintage Notes
Vintage starts with a mild winter. Followed by a little spring frost luckily without too much damage. A humid and moody forecast is installed by April. This will last during May and June and need constant supervision. The grapes are closing in July and give room for a dry summer. Despite the drought the quantity is present at harvest that started on September 11th lasting about 10 days.
Region Notes
'Fourchaume' is one of the most famous Premier Cru of Chablis. Its hillside lies in alongation of the Grand Crus hillside. It takes advantage of the same exposure (south-west) and allows a nice maturation even in difficult years.
