Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume AOC/bc 2023 - Domaine Gérard Duplessis

The Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume comes from two fully south-facing plots high on the slope, whose very rocky soil characterizes the distinctive minerality of this wine. The vines are on average 45-50 years old and are farmed organically. After hand harvesting, the vinification takes place according to the Domaine principle: 12 months in stainless steel tanks, then a further 6 months in used pièces, using only a small amount of new wood. Cultivated yeasts are not used, sulfur only minimally after malolactic fermentation and for bottling. The result is a dry white wine of great precision: clear, straight and long, with citrus and floral notes on the nose, firm and salty-mineral on the palate, with subtle tension and elegance.
