Powerful nose, combining aromas of citrus and white-fleshed fruit with a mineral note typical of the appellation. Rich and concentrated, the palate has remarkable freshness and length.

Note: from a huge 3.63 ha parcel out of only 17 ha and most of it is hard by Les Preuses. Séguier calls this their "baby grand cru" as specific barrels are selected for vine age, concentration and power. As one would reasonably expect, the nose is quite similar to that of the "regular" Fourchaume though one difference is that it's a bit more refined. This sense of refinement extends as well to the bigger, richer and moderately more complex broad-shouldered flavors that explode in a hugely long finish that completely stains the palate with dry extract. As good as its sibling is, this pure and chiseled effort just has another dimension of material present. - Comments: Don't miss! Outstanding ♥
