Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru 2022

The 2022 Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the generous character of this well-regarded premier cru site on the right bank of the Serein river.

The nose is expressive and rich, offering ripe citrus and stone fruits, complemented by classic Chablis notes of sea spray and crushed shells. The aromatic profile shows both the natural generosity of Fourchaume and the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage while maintaining mineral precision.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and freshness. The texture is round yet focused, with vibrant acidity providing excellent tension. The Kimmeridgian limestone soils contribute a pronounced mineral backbone, while the warmth of 2022 brings beautiful ripeness. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit and saline mineral notes that continue to unfold.

This wine captures both the generous nature of Fourchaume and Charlopin's ability to craft premier cru Chablis of depth and refinement.
