2024 Technical Specifications
Classification AOP Chablis Premier Cru, Fourchaume lieu-dit L'Homme Mort
Region L'Homme Mort
Vine Age 25
Indigenous Yeast Yes
Closure Diam
Production Details The domaine farms 1.1 ha in northern Fourchaume. Alcoholic fermentation is described as very slow, lasting 2–3 months with indigenous yeast. The vintage-specific note reports all-barrel élevage in 2024 and a yield slightly above 20 hl/ha after roughly 50% immediate hail loss on 1 May. This conflicts with the same page's standing cuvée specification of 60% stainless steel, 40% aged barrels and 18 months total élevage; the 2024 vessel split remains unsettled.
Tasting Notes Bill Nanson, June 2026: rounded, wide and mineral on the nose; fluid and playful, with a juicy mineral-focused finish and energetic complexity.
