Chablis 1er Cru `Fourchaume-Vaulorent` Domaine N & G Fevre 2007

The Fourchaume-Vaulorent vineyard is positioned between Grand Cru and 1er Cru Fourchaume vineyards on ideal Kimmeridgian limestone soils. A brief ageing on the lees is complemented by a small percentage of barrique-aged wine to add complexity. The nose is intense with floral, apple and bread aromas and a strong mineral influence that continues on the palate. It is rich and intense with green apple, plum and subtle lemony acidity.
