Product details
Domaine Louis Jadot Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru 2021 is a distinguished Premier Cru from Domaine Louis Jadot, one of Burgundy’s most respected houses. Sourced from the renowned Fourchaume vineyard—situated on a gentle hillside just north of the Grand Cru slope—this cuvée benefits from classic Kimmeridgian clay soils and favorable southern and southeastern exposures. Crafted at Jadot’s dedicated Chablis facility, the 2021 vintage reflects both resilience and precision following a challenging growing season marked by spring frost and a cool, wet summer. The resulting harvest, though limited in volume, produced pristine fruit with remarkable vibrancy and purity. Carefully matured in a combination of large oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, this Premier Cru highlights both structure and freshness, making it a benchmark Chablis for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Tangy and inviting, the 2021 Fourchaume opens with expressive aromas of wet stones and bright citrus peel, capturing the classic mineral-driven profile of Chablis without austerity. On the palate, brisk acidity delivers length and energy, while ripe fruit nuances provide balance and approachability. Layers of lemon zest, green apple, and subtle saline notes unfold with clarity and finesse, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish. Exceptionally food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with seafood dishes such as sushi, mussels, paella, or simply prepared baked fish, enhancing delicate flavors with precision and elegance.
