🏰The Simonnet Febvre Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru, from a Premier Cru vineyard exposed to the west/south-west, consistently delivers ample and harmonious wines with a distinctive mineral note, embodying the charming character of the Fourchaume terroir. This Chablis 1er Cru comes from a very sunny terroir but maintains a nice freshness. The vines average 40 years old, grown on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil. It is aged 10-12 months on fine lees, with some vintages seeing 25% oak barrel aging. Simonnet-Febvre is also certified for organic wine production for some vintages. Expect a pale yellow color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, and mineral undertones. The palate offers beautiful roundness, a vibrant, even explosive freshness, and a long, acidic, and mineral finish, sometimes with notes of green apple, lemon-lime zest, and hazelnut. A beautiful salinity often marks the ample mouthfeel. 🍴 Versatile with fish, white meat, cheeses, shellfish hot pot, grilled whitefish, steamed mussels, salads topped with mild cheese, or fish in sauce and white meats in sauce or veal and rice. 🥂 An excellent choice for an aperitif, a seafood feast, a light lunch, or any occasion calling for a crisp, elegant white wine.
