The 2012 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume comes from the lieu-dit Vaulorent that touches Les Preuses with a high percentage of marl soil and derives from younger vines around 30 years old. It has another very mineral-driven bouquet, perhaps with even more intensity than the Montee de Tonnerre, while the palate is well-balanced with orange zest, lemon rind and minerals with very good substance on the finish. Drink 2015-2025. - Neal Martin
