Denis (Isabelle et Denis) Pommier
Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Nose is ripe and a bit funky but will blow off. Stunning purity and freshness and so many seashells. Also a mineral liquid gum drop thing happening. Palate is ripe, treacly and racy with awesome purity and freshness. Silky and juicy. Very long. Terrific concentration, focus and energy. Very very pure. Silky and deep. Just a tremendous bottle.

Jun 14th, 2022Huge feral, wild, sauvage, mineral and fantastic nose. Classic Fourchaume and classic Pommier. So precise yet wild at the same time. Juicy and very complex with insane grip and freshness yet also coats the palate with a layer of richness. Long finish. So pure. What balance and poise. Truly almost Grand Cru.

As Michael Fagan said, “when people tell me they don’t like Chardonnay, I tell them, you haven’t had Chablis.” Crisp and fresh Chardonnay with some sea on the bouquet. The taste starts with a lot of minerality but has a long, fruity finish. Paired really well with a smokey Gouda.
