2018 Chablis Fourchaume

Produced in tiny quantities (1,200 bottles in total in 2018), the Fourchaume is one of the most sought after of all Chablis Premier Crus. Located in the north of the region, Fourchaume is an extension of the hillsides that make up the Grand Crus. With an intrinsic richness from this warmer site, in Samuel Billaud's expert hands, they also retain an immense tension, mineral vibrancy and finesse. The 2018 Fourchaume has a fantastic intensity and balance with very pure grapefruit, mandarin, lemon citrus and delicate white flower notes. But the real magic of the wine is in its texture, its elegant mouth feel and balance. The wine is impressively broad, filling the palate whilst at the same time remaining ethereally Chablis-light, leaving the palate salivating with a long mineralic finish.
