Chablis La Fourchaume 1er Cru, Jean-Claude Bessin - 2020

Provenance: Burgundy
Appellation: Chablis
Domain: Jean-Claude Bessin
Grape variety(ies): Chardonnay
On-call time: 20 years
Alcohol degree: 13%
Classement: Premier Cru

The warm exposure of Fourchaume gives very ripe grapes and wines that are a little rounder than the "classic" Chablis. The acidic balance comes from deep rooting thanks to the work of the soil. This terroir brings floral and iodine notes, generosity in the mouth, but with a lot of elegance. Vibrant, sexy.

Technique

Viticulture

Surface area: 1.30 hectares. Soil type: Kimmeridgian limestone marl. Location and exposure: located on a hillside in the commune of La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, the Fourchaume 1er cru benefits from a west-southwest exposure. Several plots are used to make this wine. Planting density: 6,000 vines per hectare. Age of the vines: from 34 to 39 years. Integrated viticulture: mechanical working of the soil, reduction of inputs with the "Changins" method, biodynamic trials.

Oenology

Manual harvesting. Pneumatic pressing of whole grapes. Slow pressing at low pressure. Vinification: vinification and maturation take place in vats. Maturing on fine lees refines the wines for 18 months.
