Louis-Bordet Chablis les Fourchaumes 1er Cru

The palate is sleek, mineral, and quietly powerful, opening with lemon curd, white peach, and green apple before moving into a deeper, more textural core of chalk, crushed shell, and cool limestone—the hallmark of Fourchaumes’ warm, south‑west exposure. Acidity is fine, bright, and elegantly threaded, giving the wine both drive and a gentle sense of breadth. Subtle notes of grapefruit pith, oyster brine, white flowers, and a faint almond‑cream nuance add aromatic detail without softening the wine’s tension. The mid‑palate is silky, layered, and tightly coiled, carrying both fruit purity and mineral depth.
