Regnard is a renowned producer of Chablis wines, and their Fourchaume 1er Cru is a standout example of their expertise. The history of Regnard dates back to the 1700s, when the family began producing wines in the Chablis region. Today, the estate is owned by the Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, who has continued the family's tradition of producing exceptional wines.

The Fourchaume 1er Cru is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Fourchaume vineyard, which is located on the right bank of the Serein river. The soil in this area is rich in limestone, which gives the wine its characteristic minerality. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months, which adds complexity and depth to the final product.

The result is a wine that is pale gold in color, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of oak. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of lemon, green apple, and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and elegant, with a touch of acidity that makes it a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses.

Overall, Regnard's Fourchaume 1er Cru is a classic example of Chablis wine, with its bright acidity, minerality, and complex flavors. It is a wine that will age well over time, but can also be enjoyed young for its fresh and vibrant character.

The Fourchaume appellation presents wines with finesse that have flower, fruit, minerality and lightness. Pleasant from their youth, they are well kept. Feminine in character, they are very complex and rich. Maison Régnard, one of the oldest and most prestigious Houses in Burgundy, was founded in 1860 by Zéphir Régnard. In 1984, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette took over the Domaine and has continued to perpetuate and improve the style and typicity of the wines.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
