Tasting notes
A complex and expressive bouquet, with notes of white flowers, citrus fruits (like lemon and grapefruit), and green apple. Subtle hints of flinty minerality, characteristic of Chablis, are present alongside a touch of wet stone and chalkiness. The palate is elegant and balanced, with fresh acidity that gives the wine a crisp and clean finish. The citrus fruit flavours are complemented by the mineral-driven notes, offering a harmonious expression of the terroir. The wine has a medium to full body, with a slight creaminess that comes from the aging process, adding depth and complexity. The finish is long and precise, with lingering flavours of citrus, apple, and a pronounced minerality that is characteristic of the Fourchaume vineyard.
