Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2021 Lamblin & Fils is an excellent choice for those seeking the authentic expression of a Chablis. This top Premier Cru vineyard’s unique concentration and unbeatable price make it a must-try.
There are more than two reasons to enjoy Lamblin Chablis 1er Cru Fouchaume 2021. Firstly, it hails from the Fourchaume vineyard, one of the largest and most renowned Premier Crus of Chablis. This vineyard's orientation and subsoil are similar to those of the Grand Crus, imparting special finesse, intense minerality, and excellent aging potential to the wines. While the wines from Grand Cru vineyards are considered the kings, those from 1er Cru vineyards, especially Fourchaume, are often referred to as "small Grand Crus" or the "princes of Chablis."
The second reason to enjoy Lamblin Chablis 1er Cru Fouchaume 2021 is its heritage. Lamblin & Fils is one of the oldest Domaines in the Chablis region, with the family's first plantings recorded in Maligny in 1690. Louis Lamblin, a prominent family member, played a decisive role in shaping the original designations of origin. Today, the 12th generation of the Lamblin family continues this tradition, cultivating the vineyards with sustainable agriculture principles and respect for the environment. The result is wines with tremendous finesse, balancing sharp acidity and minerality, truly celebrating the region.
Lamblin Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume is fermented in stainless steel tanks to highlight the terroir and the minerality of the Kimmeridgian soil. The wine is then left in contact with the fine lees for six months, acquiring an oily texture that perfectly captures the depth, purity, and authenticity of the 1er Cru Fourchaume Vineyard.
Lamblin Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2021 is already at its peak for enjoyment, but it will continue to improve over the next 7-8 years. We've mentioned more than two reasons to appreciate this wine, but there are even more to discover. And there's only one way to find out—try it for yourself!
