Very aromatic bouquet, combining fruity and floral notes. Nicely elegant palate that blends power, raciness and roundness.

A very Chablis-like nose of tidal pool hints, green fruit and wet stone gives way to notably rich and generous flavors that remain very fresh and vibrant, all wrapped in an intense and sappy finish that is presently on the fruity side though I suspect that this character will abate with age.

The 2009 Chablis Fourchaume (from young vines in Vaulorent) is one of the more linear wines here. It impresses for its length, finesse and gorgeous finish. With time in the glass the fruit begins to emerge, yet this remains a tightly-wound, inward style, especially for the year. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. -AG

A very fresh version of Fourchaume, offering aromas of green tropical fruits and orange zest, plus a whiff of oyster shell reduction. Then big, ripe and quite dry, displaying an impressive combination of volume, definition and freshness. The orange zest note carries through in the mouth. A rich but firm version of Fourchaume with a dusty, tactile finish.
