Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Maison de Montille Chablis 1er Cru Les Fourchaumes 2021 exemplifies the purity and finesse of this Premier Cru site, offering a crystalline expression of Chardonnay. The hallmark Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Les Fourchaumes impart a distinctive minerality and tension, which are echoed in the wine’s taut, energetic palate. Aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers are lifted by subtle notes of wet stone and oyster shell, while the palate delivers precise citrus flavors and a long, saline finish that speaks to the terroir’s chalky character. This Chablis pairs beautifully with seafood such as oysters, scallops, or Dover sole, and also complements goat cheese or a lightly spiced Cantonese steamed fish, showcasing its versatility and elegance.
