Product Description: Minerality meets richness in this Chablis Premier Cru from a Burgundy powerhouse. Louis Jadot’s Les Fourchaume 1er Cru 2021 captures the tension and finesse of Chablis at its best. From one of the appellation’s most storied Premier Cru vineyards and crafted under the direction of winemaker Frédéric Barnier, this Chardonnay balances structure and nuance with Jadot’s signature precision. Grown on classic Kimmeridgian limestone and vinified using a blend of stainless steel and large-format French oak, it delivers both clarity and complexity. The Fourchaume climat is known for wines that are generous yet taut—mirrored here in a profile of ripe citrus and stone fruits anchored by savoury earth and crushed oyster shell. With 13 to 15 months on fine lees and a slow, gentle élevage, this wine is built to reward patience. Expect it to evolve gracefully over the next 5–8 years. Pair with shellfish, roast chicken, or triple cream cheeses for a smart match.
