Domaine du Colombier Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023

Fourchaume is one of Chablis’ most celebrated Premier Crus, known for ripeness balanced by a deep, Kimmeridgian-mineral core. Domaine du Colombier’s 2023 expression captures this duality perfectly. The domaine favors stainless steel and subtle lees work, preserving purity while adding gentle breadth. The result is a wine of luminosity: citrus, orchard fruit and chalky precision layered over a long, saline structure. It represents classic, terroir-driven Chablis with lifted aromatics and poised energy.
The Experience (Sensory Breakdown):

Serve at 10–12 C. This Premier Cru excels with refined seafood: oysters, scallops, turbot, sole meunière, sea bass carpaccio, sushi or lobster. Its chalky tension also complements goat cheeses, creamy poultry dishes, tarragon chicken, risotto with lemon, or fresh spring vegetables. The wine’s salinity and acidity amplify both delicate and rich textures.
