The 2012 Le Domaine d'Henri Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume is a mature Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, showing lemon, ripe pear and white peach with dried flowers, honeyed citrus, hazelnut and developed mineral notes.
On the palate, it is textured and layered, with fresh acidity supporting mature orchard fruit, citrus and subtle nutty and savoury characters. Bottle age adds depth and complexity, leading to a long, dry and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who appreciate mature Premier Cru Chablis with developed complexity. Enjoy now or over the next 4–6 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, roast turbot, chicken with morel mushrooms or Comté soufflé.
