Domaine des Malandes Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

94 WE / 91-93 BH

Whiffs of flinty, smoky reduction on the nose of this wine air out nicely to reveal sun-streaked tones of yellow cherry, Mirabelle and tangerine. Fruity yet anchored firmly by steel and salt, the wine should drink at peak from 2023 through 2035 and hold further still. --Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast

Note: from a 1.3 holding in Fourchaume proper
Tasting note: Restrained aromas of iodine, green apple and citrus is trimmed in a dollop of wood toast. There is excellent intensity to the saline and delineated middle weight flavors on the chiseled, clean and sneaky long finish. Outstanding. Drink: 2027+ –Allen Meadows, Burghound
