2022 Domaine Gerard Duplessis Fourchaume Chablis Premier Cru, France La Patience • Lees are lightly stirred

• Lees are lightly stirred every three to four weeks

and 50% made in the traditional method of Orange/Amber wines (fermented on lees in open air lagar during 7 days)

In concrete and barrel the wine goes through malolactic conversion and rests for 8 months before bottling without fining or filtering and with just a small addition of SO2

which is a challenge that Aurelien embraces and appreciates

2022 Domaine Gerard Duplessis Fourchaume Chablis Premier Cru, France La Patience • Lees are lightly stirredFourchaume is from two parcels on very rocky soils with south exposure. One of Lilians favorite crus. Reserved, deep, and austere, it should keep anywhere from 4 to 10 years.
