Current Vintage: 2022
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Céline and Frédéric Gueguen started their domaine in 2013, bringing together deep family roots in the vineyards of Chablis with a more contemporary outlook of their own. Fourchaume sits toward the top of their range, giving them the chance to show a more serious, age-worthy side of Chardonnay while retaining the accessibility that makes their wines so appealing.
The 2022 comes from 45-year-old vines rooted in the classic limestone and clay soils of Chablis. The wine is made entirely in stainless steel, with native yeast fermentation and time on its fine lees. There’s no oak here the extra dimension comes from the vineyard and the naturally generous 2022 vintage.
Ripe lemon, pear and yellow apple give this more generosity than you might expect from Chablis, followed by white flowers, a touch of spice and a cool mineral note underneath. There’s real substance through the middle, balanced by bright acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish. A great bottle for scallops, roast cod, lobster or simply roast chicken.
