Georges Deschamps Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2022
Bright and immediately appealing, with lime, green apple and grapefruit alongside white flowers, wet stone and a faint hint of corn silk. Light to medium-bodied, dry and flinty, with lively acidity giving shape to the wine’s softer, rounded texture. Fresh, mineral and highly drinkable, finishing with citrus zest and the smell of rain on stone.
Georges Deschamps is the great-grandfather of Guillaume Vrignaud from the well-established Domaine Vrignaud. The family began planting in the appellation 1er cru Fourchaume with the Côte de Fontenay climate in 1955. In 1975, they planted the rest of their vines around Fontenay near Chablis. It is a quality-conscious family with an absolute belief in the importance of work in the vines, respect for nature and biodiversity. 2009 marks the start of organic certification by Ecocert. According to the family, organic farming is a way of thinking, a way of revealing the terroir. In 2012, all wines were certified organic and have been so ever since.
