2020 Maison Louis Jadot Chablis 1er Cru "Fourchaume", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Fourchaume is one of the larger Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis. It's north of Chablis town, with a range of aspects that produce rounded fruit flavors in wines. After gentle pressing, part of the juice is fermented in double rooms of 456 liters. The other part is vinified and aged in stainless steel vats. The aging lasts 13 to 15 months on the lees before the preparation for bottling.
