William Fèvre : Chablis 1er cru "Fourchaume" Domaine 2023

Excellent mineral depth, showing lots of wet stones and crushed seashells to the green citrus, fresh green apples and a touch of white fruit. Tensioned and transparent, with medium- to full-bodied and good density with a sleek, minerally finish. Long, with a saline smack at the end. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume, sourced from a 3.6-hectare, clay-rich, south-facing parcel at the bottom of the slope in Vaulorent, opens with aromas of orange peel, white flowers and oyster shell. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is fleshy yet lively, underpinned by bright acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish. This cuvée is not produced every year.
