Domaine Bessin Tremblay - Chablis La Fourchaume 1er Cru 2022

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "More open-kint and slightly more broad-shouldered than the left bank’s Montmains and La Forêt, Bessin-Tremblay’s 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume is an expressive wine, wafting from the glass with aromas of beeswax, green apple and iodine. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, laden with racy acidity and reserves of chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, mineral finish. This too comes highly recommended."

BURGHOUND: "This is aromatically similar to the straight Fourchaume except for the more noticeable wood toast plus a whiff of citrus confit. There is more volume as well as more sappy dry extract that imparts a borderline opulent texture to the middle weight plus flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence on the balanced finale. This is lovely and very promising."
