Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume Chanson 2015

The wine

This Chablis premier cru from Domaine Fourchaume, like the other wines of this domain, is characterised by a fine, aromatic purity. Matured in oak barrels for 9 months, the wine presents an intensely fruity nose completed by notes of vanilla and honey. The typical minerality of the Chablis terroir gives the wine a striking length and character.

About the Producer Chanson

Located in Beaune, the Chanson Père et Fils house was founded in 1750 by Simon Verry. It was then taken over by Nicolas Chanson in the 19th century, who developed the house’swinemaking activity and gave it its current name. It was purchased in 1999 by the Bollinger group; the vineyard now spans 45 hectares. The vines are grown organically, and the soils tilled; in the winery, a high proportion of stems is retained. The wines (especially reds) are of great quality and amply reward cellaring.
