Winemaker Notes

The parcel named "Bas de Fourchaume" is located, as its name indicates, under the Premier Cru Fourchaume. Classified in the Chablis appellation, this bottom of the hillside benefits from the same South-South/West exposure as the premier cru, with deeper clay-loam soil. Long maceration on fine lees. Part in stainless steel, part in 600l oak demi-muits. Assembled after 12 months, and then another 6 months of maturation 'en masse'.  Light fining and filtering, but not cold treated, to preserve aromatic finesse.
