Domaine Gueguen Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume

Domaine Gueguen, 1er Cru Fourchaume 2022, Chablis white

Domaine Gueguen

An exquisite organic Chardonnay premier cru from Burgundy Domaine Gueguen Chablis Fourchaume. Cultivated on southwest-facing slopes resembling an amphitheatre, the vines bask in ample sunlight, resulting in a luxuriously opulent Chablis. Infused with honey and hints of citrus fruit and white pepper, this white wine offers a delightful flavour profile.

While delightful when young, it matures gracefully over 5 years, evolving into a more intricate composition.

Ideal with grilled fish, rich sauced fish, or white meat in sauce, it also pairs perfectly with creamy Burgundy cheeses like Epoisses or Chaource. Elevate your dining experience with this sophisticated and versatile wine.

Domaine Gueguen

Demanding climate, limestone soil with multiple nuances, various valleys that offer contrasting micro-climates, Chablis and Auxerrois Vineyard is a mosaic of terroirs.The diversity of plots is a challenge for us. The balance between soil and micro-climate differs everywhere. You can observe it at harvest time, when a plot can achieve ripeness 3 weeks after the first one.First of all, you have to understand what happens in the vineyard, where terroir comes to life, by observing the wine and bringing all needed care to help the grapes ripen. Ripeness is essential to transfer the terroir to the glass.

The soil is ploughed to encourage the vines to extend their roots more deeply and therefore better express the typicity of the Terroir. Grass is allowed to grow on plots with over-vigorous vines to hold them back.
