Chardonnay 100%
Chablis premier cru Fourcheaume by William Fèvre comes from Chardonnays grown on the slopes of the right bank of the Serein on rather deep marly soil. At the domain, harvesting is done by hand. In the cellar, vinification is done by gravity, low duration pressure is applied using the pneumatic method to gently separate the solid parts and the liquid parts of the grapes. The wine is aged for 13 to 14 months, six of which are on fine lees in oak barrels for 40 to 50% of the cuvée. The élevage is completed in small stainless-steel vats. On tasting, we notice a very aromatic bouquet (pear, apples, white peach) and flowers. On the palate, the wine is powerful and full-bodied. Its goes well with along side fish, shellfish and other seafood, grilled or in a cream sauce. Ideal pairings also include poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.
