Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023 Domaine Ventoura
The Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2023 from Domaine Ventoura comes from a single vineyard parcel located in one of Chablis’ most prestigious climats. Planted in 1988, the vineyard sits on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone marl, with a south-facing exposure, a 12% slope and an altitude between 150 and 170 meters, ideal conditions for achieving ripeness while maintaining freshness and mineral tension.
Made from 100% Chardonnay, the wine is vinified with a strict focus on terroir expression. Following gentle pneumatic pressing, the must undergoes static settling. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place naturally, without selected yeasts, entirely in stainless steel tanks, preserving purity and aromatic precision.
The wine is aged for 10 months on fine lees, still in stainless steel, gaining texture and complexity while retaining clarity and freshness. Light bentonite fining and gentle filtration ensure stability without masking the wine’s character.
On the nose, the wine reveals pronounced iodized and maritime aromas, with hints of seaweed, wet stone and subtle white pepper spice. The mineral expression is intense and unmistakable, a true signature of the Fourchaume terroir. On the palate, it is taut, saline and precise, with vibrant energy and a long, elegant finish. An exceptional match for grilled lobster, shellfish platters or Burgundy truffle risotto, this Premier Cru embodies the depth and refinement of top-class Chablis.
