Domaine Jean Dauvissat 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023 (750ml)

Fourchaume is the most reputed of the Chablis Premier Crus, sitting as the natural continuation of the Grand Cru slope with the same south-west exposure, which the domaine says helps it ripen well even in tougher years, giving a wine that marries extreme roundness with typical Chablis minerality. The 2023 opens on ripe lemon, baked apple and a touch of almond-meal, then rolls into a generous palate where citrus and stone fruit are cushioned by a broader, almost creamy texture, before tightening into a long, mineral finish that keeps it Chablis to the core.
