A refined Chablis 1er Cru from the celebrated Fourchaume vineyard, Domaine Alexandre’s expression combines precision, structure and the hallmark minerality of this prestigious left-bank Premier Cru site. Grown on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, this is a wine that balances purity of fruit with depth and a finely layered aromatic profile, reflecting both vineyard pedigree and careful cellar work.
Tasting Notes:
Pale gold in colour, the nose is elegant and expressive, opening with white blossom, citrus zest and ripe orchard fruit, followed by subtle hints of dried fruit and wet stone minerality. The palate is poised and energetic, combining lemon, green apple and pear with a gentle underlying richness. Fine acidity drives the wine through to a long, structured finish with a distinct saline and mineral edge.
Winemaking:
Grapes are sourced from the Fourchaume Premier Cru vineyard and carefully harvested before gentle pneumatic pressing. After settling, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic precision. The wine is then matured in tank, allowing purity and terroir expression to remain at the forefront while developing subtle complexity in bottle.
Food Pairing:
An excellent match for shellfish, grilled langoustine, scallops and monkfish, as well as classic fish dishes and creamy seafood sauces. It also pairs beautifully with poultry, light white meats and regional French dishes such as Jambon à la Chablisienne.
ABV: 13%
