93/100 — Neal Martin, Vinous · 2022 Vintage
“The 2022 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a more flinty bouquet than the Mont de Milieu, a little stern at first, then opening with hints of almond and Paris Bresse. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, impressive weight and density, very cohesive and poised towards the finish. This is a very impressive, very delicious Fourchaume.”
90–92/100 — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy · 2022 Vintage · Tasted Jul 2023
“From a 500 litre barrel. Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is quite graceful and elegant. Maybe a faint honeysuckle from the ripeness. Stable with a medium intensity of fruit, and a lemon note. Very pretty, not quite so classic. Drink from 2027-2032.”
About This Wine
Premier Cru Fourchaume.
From two south-facing plots at the top of the slope, where very stony soils contribute to the wine’s mineral expression.
Long and precise in style, this is a quintessential dry white wine.
