Tasting notes
The 2023 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a clean, delineated nose with lemon verbena, Granny Smith and light oyster shell scents. The palate is well balanced with a keen thread of acidity. There is a patina of wood here, but it is proportionate to the fruit. Cohesive and long on the finish, this might be Jadot's best cuvée of 2023. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.

Unoaked, 13–15 months on fine lees. Tank sample. Aroma of grapefruit and stone dust. Excellent stony freshness on the palate with a fine grip from the lees. Firm, bone dry, mouth-watering. Long, minerally aftertaste. (JH)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
