William Fevre Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru 2018 (750ML)

94 WE / 92 VM / 91-93 BH / 17 JR

Lemon oil subtly pervades the mossy nose on this wine with richness and generosity. The juicy palate adds zestiness that plays above rounded, smooth yeastiness. Towards the finish this tapers towards limestone depth, ending with a long echo of lemon. Lovely now, the wine will show its truer self with bottle age. Drink 2022–2040. Anne Krebiehl MW – Wine Enthusiast

The 2018 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a comparatively rich bouquet of peach, linseed and a very subtle petrolly aroma. The palate is well balanced with a bitter lemon note on the entry. This is more saline and spicier than the Vaillons, featuring stem ginger and menthol on the finish. An attractive Fourchaume that should give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure.-- Neal Martin – Vinous Media

Note: from Vaulorent
Tasting note: In much the same fashion as the Les Lys the nose is overtly floral in character with background nuances of oyster shell, iodine and wet stone. The impressively rich, concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess excellent intensity that carries over to the complex, long, dry and focused finale. This is, in a word, terrific. Sweet Spot – Outstanding – Allen Meadows – Burghound

Nutty, broad, toasty-earthy nose, with a richness of fruit and generosity consistent with the appellation. Chalky and flinty with plenty of intensity on the palate. Long. (TJ) JancisRobinson.com
