Domaine Fourrey-Cote De Lechet Chablis Premier Cru 2023

$43.00

Domaine Fourrey — Côte de Léchet Chablis Premier Cru 2023

Region: Chablis, Burgundy,

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pale gold with faint green highlights.

  • Nose: Bright, focused aromatics—crisp green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers layered over subtle chalky minerality and a hint of flinty reduction.

  • Palate: Clean, precise entry with lively citrus (lemon and lime), green pear, and a saline, stony core. Mid-palate develops fine orchard-fruit richness while maintaining energetic acidity. The finish is long and mineral-driven with a gentle bitter-almond note and lingering citrus pith.

  • Texture: Slick, tensile acidity with a mineral firmness typical of Côte de Léchet’s Kimmeridgian soils; well-balanced weight without heaviness.

Food Pairing

  • Shellfish: oysters, shrimp, or razor clams with a citrus mignonette.

  • Seafood: grilled or pan-seared scallops, roast lobster, or halibut with a butter-lemon sauce.

  • Cheese: young goat cheeses, fresh chèvre, or a mild triple-cream.

  • Other: light poultry dishes, sushi, or salads with vinaigrette.

Cellaring

  • Drink now through 8–12 years from vintage for freshness and mineral clarity; can evolve gracefully, gaining deeper honeyed and nutty nuances with medium-term age.
