About this product

Powerful. Steely. A pinnacle of Premier Cru purity.
Perched on the sun-drenched slopes just northwest of the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards, Fourchaume is among the most prestigious Premier Cru sites—often called “Grand Cru in disguise.” Louis Jadot’s expression from this fabled plot is a masterclass in balance: crystalline fruit precision, electric minerality, and a whisper of oak complexity. Fermented in a judicious mix of stainless steel and large-format oak, it preserves the vineyard’s cool-climate tension while adding just enough richness to broaden the mid-palate. This is Chablis for those who appreciate both energy and elegance in equal measure—a wine of place, purity, and pedigree.

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.

Country of origin

France

Chablis AOC

  • Chardonnay

Colour
Pale straw-gold with fresh green highlights—radiant and inviting.

Nose
A crisp, evocative bouquet of wet stone, citrus peel, green almond, white flowers, and a whisper of hazelnut and oak spice.

Palate
Chiseled and focused. Bright citrus and orchard fruits interweave with chalky minerality. Medium-plus body with refined texture and zesty, saline finish. Persistent and energizing, with elegant structure.

A culinary chameleon, equally at home with:

  • Oysters, scallops, and lobster thermidor
  • Grilled seabass, sole meunière, or shrimp risotto
  • Creamy chicken in morel sauce or leek quiche
  • Goat cheese, Comté, or fresh chèvre on crusty bread
  • Salads with citrus vinaigrette or fennel carpaccio
