2023 Chantemerle Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru 375ml
This is Chablis as it should be: pure, mineral, and refreshingly complex. The soils here are chalky and stony = textbook Chablis terroir, which gives a medium-bodied wine yet lively & mouthwatering. The half-bottle format makes it perfect for picnics, solo dinners, or as a crisp aperitif before a larger meal. It’s a snapshot of northern Burgundy terroir—refined deliciousness. Enjoy with yysters or other fresh shellfish; white fish in cream sauces; ripe-rind cheeses.
Sustainable farming practices, hand-harvested grapes, indigenous yeast fermentation, aged in stainless steel tanks, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Winemaker Francis Boudin of Domaine de Chantemerle is one of the remaining members of Chablis’ true artisanal ranks: producers who refuse to be seduced by modernity but craft Chablis as naturally and as authentically as possible.
Particularly for the Boudin family, this means Chablis without any oak influence. “Barrel-free Chablis” has been a mantra of the Boudin clan for at least three generations—a curious story that started as an intergenerational spat but turned into a savvy winemaking philosophy.
Grandpa Boudin was a cooper. His son Adhemar hated everything about the business: the noise, the smells and the mess. So much so that when he started making Chablis from the family’s vines, Adhemar refused to use barrels, choosing instead to use cement or stainless steel tanks.
Today Adhemar’s son, Francis, holds fast to the family’s “no-barrel” philosophy, as his overriding passion is to translate the purity of Chardonnay from the vineyard directly into the bottle. And he succeeds—Boudin Chablis is striking in its citrus-inspired flavors, its pure aromas and its mouth-watering, tangy finish.

$30.00Whether new to Gruner Veltliner or a longtime fan of the grape, this exquisite expression from Hirsch promises to please. Hailing from Austria’s famed Kamptal region, fruit for this wine is grown in calcareous and loamy soils, which is responsible for the structured, mineral-driven backbone of the wine (AKA, what we love about it so much!) This our go-to with sushi. It also pairs well with Thai food or anything with a little spice.
Organic and biodynamically-farmed vineyards, family-owned estate, slow fermented with native yeasts, and vinified entirely in steel.
