Sélection Vinous 2024 – Neal Martin

Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2022, 90pts

The 2022 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a delicate nose that unfolds white peach, slighters of Anjou pear and melon. An underlying mineralité only appearsafter several minutes. The palate is well-defined with peach and passion fruit at the entry, and it is a little more tropical than  the aromatics suggest. Though there is tension and « bite », teh finish is quite spicy and longin the mouth. Fine. tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.

Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin 2022, 91pts.

The 2022 Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru has a lifting bouquet of apple blossom, clementine and highly crushed stone aromas that are very focused and delineated. The palate is well-balanced with a much better lineof acidity than others from this climat, a clever reductionof play at the finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis
