La Chablisienne : Chablis 1er cru "Fourchaume" 2022

Fresh, limey nose with mineral, green apples and a hint of cream and wasabi. Attractively linear and delicious, with just medium body and a pithy, rather precise finish. A crisp, agile expression from Fourchaume. 30% oak barrels and the rest in stainless tank. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has an impressive bouquet: focused and tensile, quite slate-like, with plenty of energy. The palate is well-defined with a crisp bead of acidity, taut and fresh, with a sapid, classically styled finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.
