2023 Bessin Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume

93 POINTS

Kristaps Karklins - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

More ample and demonstrative than Montmains, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume opens with a deep bouquet of juicy peach, orange oil and mirabelle plum, introducing a wine that’s rich yet precise, full-bodied and animated by a beam of tangy acidity. Beneath the gloss of fruit is a chalky spine that drives a resonant, saline close that is subtly inflected with orange zest. A flamboyant expression of this right-bank site, it stands in stylistic contrast to the tauter, more restrained Montmains.
