This wine shows intensely concentrated fruit with a hint of spice and notes of golden apple and toasted brioche. The palate is textured and lifted by fresh acidity, culminating in a long, saline finish.

The Fourchaume 1er Cru ‘Les Vaupulans’ is a small parcel selection which winemaker Guillaume Vrignaud has identified as his best plot within his vineyard holdings in the Fourchaume Premier Cru appellation. The vines are on average 30 years-old and planted on Kimmeridgian limestone and all farmed organically.

Guillaume Vrignaud joined the family domaine in 1999, when his father was a member of the co-op in Chablis, and convinced him to build a cellar and start making his own wines. Their success was such that they have grown from 12 hectares of vineyard to 27 hectares today. In 2009, Guillaume moved to organic viticulture but, like many growers in Chablis, abandoned it in the difficult 2016 growing season and is once again in the middle of the three-year conversion period.
