2017 Chablis 1. Cru Fourchaume La Chablisienne

A very fresh and fine nose with lemon- drenched, crushed stones, making a striking impression of Chablis terroir. The palate has a very fresh, grapefruit and lemon core with flinty nuances and a build to richer green mangoes at the finish. This is very good. Drink or hold.

Aromas of lemon, mandarin, oyster shell and white flowers introduce the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume, a medium to full-bodied, charming and supple wine with good depth at the core, lively acids and a precise, distinctly saline finish. 2020-2030.

(from 3 of the 5 climats). Once again the oak regimen is subtle but not invisible as it frames the lightly exotic and slightly restrained aromas of orange peel, lychee and pear compote. The exceptionally rich and succulent middle weight plus flavors coat the palate with sap while exhibiting fine depth and length on the balanced finish where the wood resurfaces. This should drink well young but have no problems aging over the mid-term. 90/2022+

Gylden i glasset og i første omgang domineret af træ. På andendagen træder chabliskarakteren dog tydeligt igennem i form af citrus og mineralitet suppleret med fersken og kamille. Der er god koncentration samt kalk, jord og masser af syre i eftersmagen, som de klæder chablis.

The 2017 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru is broad, ample and creamy. Dried flowers, citrus peel, chamomile and spice all grace this super-expressive, inviting wine. The 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring, although it clearly has the depth to develop nicely in bottle for a number of years.
