Fourchaume is one of the best-known premiers crus of Chablis. The poor soils on this well-exposed slope, scattered with chunks of Kimmeridgien limestone, put stress on the vine, causing it to plunge its roots deep in search of nutrients. Concentration, power, and plenty of flesh on the bones are Fourchaume’s hallmarks, with generous Chardonnay fruit coating an unapologetically stony spine.
