Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume Chablisienne, 2021

Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume from La Chablisienne is a refined expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most respected premier cru sites. Known for its cool-climate precision, minerality, and elegance, Fourchaume has long been prized for wines that balance bright fruit with a distinctive Chablis character.

Tasting Notes
Pale lemon-gold in the glass, this 2021 Chablis 1er Cru typically shows a fresh, focused profile. Expect aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and flinty mineral notes, with the cool vintage lending extra tension and brightness. On the palate, the wine is crisp and linear, with lively acidity supporting flavors of lemon zest, pear, wet stone, and subtle saline depth. The finish is clean and persistent, with enough concentration to develop gracefully over the next several years. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness, but it also has the structure to age well and gain complexity.

Production
Sourced from the Fourchaume premier cru vineyard in Chablis, the wine reflects the region’s famous Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils, which are key to its mineral-driven style. La Chablisienne works closely with growers across the appellation, and the fruit is typically harvested with careful selection to preserve purity and freshness. Vinification is carried out to emphasize precision and terroir expression, often with stainless steel fermentation and restrained oak influence.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi, creamy poultry dishes, and goat cheese. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you wish to open up the wine a little more in its youth.

Producer
La Chablisienne is one of the most important producer-cooperatives in Chablis, founded in 1923 and widely recognized for elevating the quality and reputation of the region. Today it is known for its strong vineyard partnerships and consistent, terroir-focused wines across the Chablis appellation. Its premier cru bottlings, including Fourchaume, are among its most respected achievements.
