Fourchaume Chablis Premier cru 2009 La Chablisienne

Fourchaume is one of 12  Premier cru's in Chablis an appellation within the Burgundy region, and it is situated to the north of Chablis town,  in 2009 a highly recommended coop La Chablisienne made a Chablis that we tasted recently and were wowed by its minerality and complexity.
Initially the lemon fruits aromas were fresh and clean but veiled slightly as they opened to exhibit green crunchier fruits - we felt it had much to give. On tasting it the green fruits, steely minerality and spice were complex with concentrated elegant acidity balanced by the alcohol which added structure and support to the full bodied silky wine. The length was long and rounded, the style less austere than many I have tasted - and steely and clean throughout.
This wine could age for another 8-10 years gaining much on the way - enjoy!This wine was good value at £16.74 from Roberson wine.
