Product notes

Fourchaume leads to several interpretations ... lime kiln (fourchaux), fork (crossroads) or man's forks (sinister gibbet) which belonged to the Lord of Maligny.

Production notes

Static cold settling before the start of fermentation. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vats and barrels. Duration 12 months on fine lees, in vats and barrels.

Tasting notes

Pale gold color with some silvery reflections. Open nose presenting the white fruits of the orchard subtly vanilla with a nice mineral intensity. Full, dense and fresh palate with a fine mineral tension, slightly spicy development and a long mineral and fruity finish. Pairings with sweetbreads, sole meunière and beaufort.

Un Fourchaume de grandes dimensions, agrémenté de saveurs de noisette, très convaincant et persistant.

Allen Meadows, October 2018 (Vintage 2017)

Once again the oak regimen is subtle but not invisible as it frames the lightly exotic aromas of orange peel, lychee and pear compote. The exceptionally rich and succulent middle weight plus flavors coat the palate with sap while exhibiting fine depth and length on the balanced finish where the wood resurfaces. This should drink well young but have no problems aging over the mid-term.
