Chablis Les Fourchaumes Domaine Laroche 2022

Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourchaumes is a white wine with a marked minerality, produced by the French maison Domaine Laroche . The label is obtained from the vinification of Chardonnay grapes, an international variety that expresses itself in an unmistakable way in this area of Burgundy. The terroir of reference boasts vines over seventy years old, which sink their roots on a hill with optimal sun exposure. The intervention between the rows is based on environmental sustainability without resorting to synthetic products. The manual harvest is followed by a further selection of the bunches to allow only the best specimens to reach the cellar. Here the fermentation takes place both in oak vats and in stainless steel tanks. The same philosophy is also followed in the refinement phase, which lasts for about 8 months on the fine lees, a very expensive but highly qualitative process. Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourchaumes is perfect right away, even if it boasts an aging potential that extends up to 5-6 years.
