Always one of the highlights of de Montille's maison wines, Fourchaumes is one of Chablis' most vaunted 1er Cru vineyards.
Tasting this en primeur we felt it was an excellent, precise Chablis with lots of potential (hence we went long on a dozen cases), yet it has even exceeded our expectations. There is impressive weight and density here, full of orchard fruit, notes of honeysuckle & beeswax, a twist of white pepper, yet the tension and focus keeps everything nicely taut. This is touching Grand Cru quality for just £40 a bottle on your table.
What the critics say:
"Half is in 600 litre barrel and half in stainless steel. Clear, focussed, precise and Chablisien, this has got the tension that we need from Chablis. Clear fresh apple and oyster-shell flavours all the way through."
