2022 Chablis, Fourchaume, 1er Cru, Famille Grossot, Burgundy

Description

Eve feels that her organic methods have made this wine more mineral over the last four or five years, yielding a wine of greater tension and finesse than is the norm in Fourchaume. It’s also made in tank to prioritise fruit and freshness. The result is a fine, mineral wine marrying the site’s natural opulence with a surprising verticality.
