Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Chablis Premier Cru from Fourchaume, the warmest and most generous of the right-bank premier crus, sitting on the same slope that runs up to the grand crus. Chablis in its classic register — lemon, green apple and white flowers over the wet-stone, oyster-shell minerality that the Kimmeridgian limestone gives — but with more flesh and length than a village wine, and a faint honeyed roundness. Bone dry with piercing acidity. Fourchaume rewards keeping: five to ten years turns the citrus toasty and nutty.
