What the critics say:
"Pale lemon colour. This started out reduced at first but Guillaume put half in barrel to give some oxygen and there is no sign of it now. The wood has also just fleshed it out a little. Some salinity behind but mostly it is the fruit."
"The 2021 Chablis Fourchaume ler Cru, raised without wood contact, feels a bit reductive on the nose at the moment. The palate shows more promise. It's quite harmonious with a silver bead of acidity, and there's commendable fruit concentration given the vintage, with a judicious dash of white pepper towards its slightly peachy finish. Delightful."
