This wine is classically elegant, powerful and round with lovely aromas. In the mouth aromas of citrus fruits, fresh mint and spicy notes are developed. There are also notes of ripe fruits and honey.
The Fourchaume vineyard lies on the right bank of the Serein river and covers a thin strip running approximately 2.5km north - south, bordering the northern limits of the town of Chablis. It is one of Chablis' most well known and highly respected premier crus and divided into the sub climats of Vaupulent, Cote de Fontenay, L'Homme Mort and Vaulorent.
