| Review: |
“There's no Pièce au Comte this year, so everything went into the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume, an attractive wine that unwinds int he glass with aromas of honeycomb, white flowers, oyster shell, orange blossom and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, bright and satiny, it's pure and precise, with racy acids and a delicately honeyed finish. While it's still a touch shut down after its recent bottling, it will appeal to Chablis purists.” |
