Vintage : 2021

Location: The 1er Cru La Fourchaume stretches over almost 4 km on the road linking Maligny to Chablis.

Where it got its name from: "Fourche" means "Fork" for crossroads or gibbet, one of the two possible origins of this name Climat is less sinister than the other!

Present and future: As a product of its terroir, this young wine is still keeping its guard up. Wait a couple of years for the barrel to fade, it will be ideal for tasting when it has been aged for around 3 years. It will keep for between 8 and 10 years.
