The 2023 Louis Jadot Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourchaumes is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ recognised Premier Cru sites. Grown on limestone-rich soils, it shows white flowers, lemon zest and green apple with ripe stone fruit, subtle nutty notes and a distinctive flinty, saline mineral character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured with vibrant acidity, citrus and stone fruit supported by a chalky mineral line. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and wood, followed by 15–16 months of maturation in barrel, with 30% new oak, adding gentle texture and complexity. The finish is long, fresh and mineral-driven.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chablis drinkers who enjoy structured Chardonnay with bright acidity, subtle oak and pronounced minerality. Enjoy now or cellar through around 2030 for further development. Pair with oysters, scallops, grilled snapper, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes.
