Louis Jadot Les Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru 2023

Lemon peel, Williams pear and green apple fruit come to the fore in this lovely wine, whose oyster shell minerality and floral notes develop only with time. There is a fresh, vibrant acidity on the palate but the wine is not tart; rather, a silky texture carries the wine to a rewardingly long finish. The grapes from this right-bank premier cru are gently crushed and fermented in tank (70%) and 500L casks (30%); the wine is aged 15 months on the lees. This wine will drink well young, but has the potential to age.
