2019 Domaine Savary 'Fourchaume' Premier Cru Chablis

Compared to basic Chablis, a premier cru ought to deliver enhanced structure, greater finesse, and an increased capacity for aging in the bottle. While this is certainly the case for the Savary family’s Fourchaume, its most compelling attribute today is perhaps its open-knit personality and irresistible charm. The textbook character we expect from this appellation is on full display: it embodies both power and restraint, with ample fruit, zingy citrus, and a salivating finish that recalls the fossil-laden slope from which it hails.
