Description

Undoubtedly the most prestigious of the Premiers Crus of Chablis, Fourchaume holds a special place in the hearts of lovers of the appellation. Elegant, fine and delicious, it expresses notes of white flowers and summer fruit with beautiful minerality. Open and pleasant from its youth, it is also good to wait 6 to 7 years for more complexity.

Light bouquet of lemon verbena and beeswax. The mouth is fresh and taut with notes of grapefruit and lemon zest. A mouthfilling texture, typical of Fourchaume, finishing with light aniseed and oyster shell hints. Delicious in youth and capable of 10+ years' ageing.

Domaine de Montille

Founded in the 1730s, and renamed Domaine de Montille in 1863. The estate was sitting on a real treasure. In total, around 20ha of magnificent terroirs, planted with Pinot Noir in the Côte de Beaune. Hubert de Montille and then his son, Etienne, the current owner of the estate, trusted in the wealth and diversity that the Burgundy wine mosaic represents and devoted their lives to it. Over the years, they reconstituted and extended the family heritage, plot by plot.

Burgundy

Burgundy, located in eastern France, is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is divided into five main wine-producing areas: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Burgundy’s complex terroir, characterised by diverse soils, microclimates, and slope orientations, plays a critical role in the distinctive characteristics of its wines. The region's classification system includes Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and Regional appellations, reflecting the hierarchy of quality and location. Burgundy’s vineyards, many with centuries-old histories, produce wines that are revered for their elegance, depth, and expression of terroir. Key towns include Beaune, the region’s wine capital, and Dijon, known for its historical ties to the Dukes of Burgundy. Burgundy’s rich winemaking heritage, combined with its diverse range of wines, makes it a top destination for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
