The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume—which hails, as usual, from the lieu-dit Vaulorent that neighbors Les Preuses—is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of white peach, dried flowers, Meyer lemon and honeycomb that, of all the Michel premiers crus, approaches the closest to grand cru range. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with good depth and density and a pure, stony finish. Wine Advocate 92-94+
A vague whiff of exotic fruit can be found on the nose of mostly pear and apple scents that are cut with hints of lychee, spice and citrus peel. The sappy and almost opulent medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouth feel, all wrapped in a delicious, forward and plush finish that should enable this to be enjoyed young. Burghound 89-92
