A high-caliber white that combines the power of the cru with the stylistic finesse of the Domaine. The aromatic profile is a perfect balance between fresh fruit and iodized minerality.

Chablis La Fourchaume 1er Cru 2023, Domaine de l'Enclos
The Chablis 1er Cru La Fourchaume 2023 from Domaine de l'Enclos is a masterful expression of one of Chablis' most famous and prestigious climats. Located on the extension of the Grand Cru, Fourchaume produces wines of great breadth with an unmistakable chalky backbone. The 2023 vintage yielded healthy, perfectly ripe grapes, vinified by the Domaine with spontaneous fermentations and a skillful use of old oak barrels and stainless steel to preserve the terroir. On the nose, it is a hymn to purity: acacia flowers, reinette apple, and lemon zest intertwine with deep notes of flint and a hint of fresh butter. On the palate, it is sumptuous, almost silky on the attack, then unfolds into a saline and citrus progression of rare elegance, with a long finish reminiscent of oyster shell.
