Tasting notes
The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume (négoce) offers up aromas of lemon oil, white flowers and oyster shell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and delicately glossy, with tangy acids, an open-knit, giving core and a bright, saline finish. This is an immediate, charming Fourchaume that is already showing well.

The 2017 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru does not come from estate fruit but three contracted growers. It has a clean and precise honeysuckle scented bouquet, very understated in style. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, modest weight in the mouth but it is just missing the precision of say, William Fèvre’s Mont de Milieu on the finish.
About the producer
Established in the late 1950s, William Fèvre was one of the leaders in Chablis’s renaissance. Today he crafts benchmark expressions of fine Chardonnay from some of the top vineyard sites in the region, working with many of the best Premier and Grand Cru vineyards.
