Powerful. Steely. A pinnacle of Premier Cru purity.
Perched on the gentle slopes just north of the Chablis Grand Crus, Fourchaume is a Premier Cru vineyard known for producing wines of generosity and charm. Its exposure to the sun and its limestone-rich soils give birth to Chablis that is both elegant and approachable — a wine that bridges the racy purity of classic Chablis with a touch of roundness and depth.
In the hands of Maison Louis Jadot, Fourchaume reveals its fullest expression. The wine shines pale gold in the glass, its aromas vibrant yet refined: citrus zest, white peach, and delicate floral notes, underpinned by hints of chalk and sea spray. On the palate, it flows with grace and balance — fresh, mineral-driven, yet carrying a subtle richness that softens the edges. The finish is long and clean, leaving behind a memory of stone fruits and maritime freshness.
This is a Chablis Premier Cru to enjoy now or cellar for refinement over the coming years. For wine enthusiasts in Ireland, it offers a gateway into the layered beauty of Chablis, delivering both finesse and accessibility in every sip.
Why we love it:
Fourchaume captures Chablis at its best—taut, vibrant, mineral-rich, and deceptively complex. Light oak support adds a touch of texture without overwhelming the purity of fruit. It's a wine for both elegance and gravitas: sip now or cellar as it evolves into saline honeyed brilliance.
