Restrained at the first sniff, this vintage shines with smoky and straw aromas, together with intense violets, bright red cherries and cherry stones. Cedar wood in depth. Full-bodied and extracted, yet full of fruit sweetness, displaying velvety tannins and crisp integrated acidity which enhances and lengthens the cherry flavor. Super polished finish.

7. Domaine Yvon & Laurent Vocoret Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru, 2023 | Burgundy, France

…, rich, dense, intense and concentrated all the while remaining in the firm and sharp, chiselled Chablis idiom, with genuine, honest flavour depth, nourished by lees ageing, also clearly very ripe – a part of the fruit is harvested slightly later to boost density. Length and depth are excellent – a brilliant bottle at a highly attractive price. Chablis lovers rejoice.

A blend of 44% Roussanne, 41% Grenache Blanc, 11% Clairette, and 4% Bourboulenc, it shows the softer style of the vintage and brings plenty of fruit while staying balanced, focused, and light on its feet.
