2021 Chablis 1cru Fourchaume Remoissenet Père & Fils

The typical Chablis scent pours up the glass with white flowers, chalky minerality and peach. Nice harmonious character with medium body, and a good refreshing fruit acidity to give the balance. It maintains exactly the level you expect from Premier Cru Chablis, and will go fantastically with a wide range of dishes with ingredients from the sea.

The wine is made from grapes from the Fourchaume field in Chablis, which has Premier Cru classification. The field lies north from the town of Chablis itself, on the east bank of the Serein river. The field has a perfect south-to-southeast orientation, so the canes have close to as many hours of sun as possible in the otherwise cool Chablis. This allows the sun-thirsty Chardonnay grapes to achieve a proper ripeness, so that they end up with the unique balance between acidity and ripeness that has made Chablis wines famous.

The wine is aged in a combination of 228 liter and 342 liter casks.
