Domaine Grossot - Chablis 1er Cru - Les Fourneaux - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 white Chablis 1er Cru Les Fourneaux develops exquisite breadth and depth, combining the maturity of the vintage with the complexity of its premier cru terroir. The nose is immediately appreciated for its assertive maturity, with a honeyed accent that complements the shell-like aspect of Chablis. The texture is well-defined, yet taut, precise and pure. A wine that rings true with its fine lemony length and excellent, incisive bitters. A Committee Favorite rated 94/100.

Vinification:
