Simonnet-Febvre – Fourchaume 2019 – Chablis Grand Cru

The nose is fresh, racy, terroir-driven, elegant, precise and reveals a certain aromatic purity. There are notes of fresh quince, lemon and, more slightly, bright flat peach combined with a subtle hint of mesocarp, fresh berries and a discreet hint of white flowers and verbena. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality (which carries), finesse in its guidance, good definition, juiciness, a mineral framework and a precise fatness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright flat peach, plump and juicy Mirabelle plum and more lightly crushed, fresh yellow berries combined with fine hints of fresh apricot, crisp nectarine as well as fine hints of white flowers, a subtle hint of racy, almost saline minerality and a discrete hint of toastiness (in the background). Almost tannic on the finish/persistence (both in aroma and structure). Good length.
