More info

Fourchaume is a 1er Cru vineyard in Chablis. This vineyard has a similar exposure to the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards which lie across the Fontenay Valley, to which Fourchaume wines are often compared. The grapes come from a parcel which includes some 60 year old vines. The double Guyot trained vines are planted at a density of 5,700 vines per hectare and yield a maximum of 55 hectolitres per hectare. The soils are made up of kimmeridgian, rich in clay and limestone with fossilised sea shells; and are renowned for producing fine wines with mineral characteristics. Domaine Jean Goulley’s vineyard is certified organic.

Vinified with minimal intervention, the grapes were carefully selected. Fermentation took place with natural yeasts for two to three weeks at 21°C in temperature controlled stainless steel vats, to showcase the characteristics of this impressive terroir. The wine was matured for 18 months in stainless steel vats, of which it spent nine months on its fine lees to gain texture, weight and complexity.
