Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Neal Martin - 15 Sep 22
The 2021 Chablis Fôrets 1er Cru takes a little more coaxing on the nose, yellow plum and light lemon sherbet aromas, vibrant and energetic after three or four minutes. The palate is well balanced, primal on the entry, quite sappy with a touch of ginger and allspice towards the finish. Needs a little more cohesion.

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
