From one of Burgundy's most esteemed producers, Louis Jadot, comes a Chablis of distinction and finesse. Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru is a outstanding expression of this renowned northern Burgundy appellation, sourced from the highly regarded Fourchaume vineyard - a site celebrated for its ideal sun exposure and Kimmeridgian limestone soils.
Crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes, this Premier Cru combines minerality, elegance and aromatic complexity, showcasing the classic style of Chablis with the added depth and structure that Fourchaume is known for. The wine is partially aged in oak, adding a layer of richness while preserving the purity of fruit and precision that define this exceptional terroir.
