La Fauquette represents pure Melon à Queue Rouge from vineyard soils of blue marl, contributing spiciness and freshness. This wine is made sous voile (under a veil of yeast) in a 25-hectoliter foudre without topping-up, allowing controlled oxidation. After bottling the previous vintage, the wine transfers into 400-liter barrels of Jura oak to complete aging. The result is a distinctive expression of this mutant grape, marked by minerality, spice, and complexity that deepens with bottle age. This 2020 is entering its prime.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

Always the greatest of Michel’s white wines, “La Fauquette” (from soils of marne bleu) spends four years in 400-liter barrels without being topped up. Despite the marked influence of the voile, however, it is the most elegant of Gahier’s whites: viscerally salty and rich, but with the finesse of great Corton-Charlemagne. Called Melon, the vines are of the local variety of Chardonnay known as “Melon à Queue Rouge”, a white grape the skin color of which bleeds towards red as it approaches the stem.
