2015 Christophe et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume

 Abv 13%


Irresistible citrus attack supported by mouthwatering salinity and followed by lemon confit balanced with food friendly acidity on the finish. Sebastian Christophe is an up and coming young producer who farms a south facing plot of vines in the Côte de Fontenay lieu-dit, that were planted by his uncle in 1981.

Aging occurs for one year in stainless steel (80%) and the remainder in 228-liter oak barrels (new wood is approximately 7%). The wine is fined and filtered. A very satisfying Chablis overall. 

Paired nicely with grilled sashimi tuna filet.
