Florence and François Bachelier, eighth-generation vignerons from Villy, craft traditional Chablis that embodies the purity and minerality of the region. Their 'Les Fourneaux' Premier Cru 2020 offers a classic expression of Chardonnay from northern Burgundy.
- WINEMAKERS: Florence and François Bachelier
- FARMING: Integrated cultivation with tillage
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: Sourced from 33-year-old vines in the 'Les Fourneaux' Premier Cru vineyard, the only Premier Cru in Chablis to face due south, benefiting from optimal sun exposure. The slopes are composed of Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, contributing to the wine's characteristic minerality.
- VINIFICATION: Traditional vinification with temperature control; aged on fine lees for 5 to 8 months in a blend of stainless steel and wood to preserve freshness and enhance complexity.
- AGING: 5 to 8 months on fine lees in a combination of stainless steel and wood.
- TASTING NOTES: A wine that has a rounder texture than expected, with a touch of fresh Irish cream and cultured butter, supporting the still-pure fruit of ripe nectarine.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood dishes, particularly oysters, shellfish, and light fish preparations; also complements goat cheese and fresh salads
