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