Domaine Jean Dauvissat Père & Fils Premier Cru Fourchaumes

"Fourchaume" is one of the most famous Premier Cru of Chablis. Its hillside lies in alongation of the Grand Crus hillside. It takes advantage of the same exposure (south-west) and allows a nice maturation even in difficult years.. A very healthy vintage that arrived at maturity by mid-september. This vintage, characterized by a relatively mild and humid winter followed by a hot and dry spring and summer, is very balanced. After a long pressing and static settling of 12 hours, the fermentation was effected at a temperature of 20°C during approximately 10 days. The elegant nose expresses fruity flavours. Through its mineral and fruity side, the balanced palate continues with the same aromatics. Long finish. Best served chilled at 12°C
