Note di degustazione
From magnum. Light honey and zippy lemon as well a hint of just-ripe apricot. The slightest suggestion of cedary bottle maturity. Superb depth on the palate married to the finest, mouth-watering acidity. So long and still such a baby. Sadly Montrachet Fine Wine Merchants have sold out of this wine. (JH)

The 2014 Chablis 1Er Cru Fourneaux comes from a single parcel of 40-year-old vines that are cultivated organically. It has a clean and precise bouquet with chalk dust and a subtle white mushroom-like aroma. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, a dash of spice on the entry with a fine saline component that is expressed towards the slightly truncated finish. This wine has good potential and I would give it 12-18 months in bottle.
(from purchased grapes from 40-year-old vines, farmed organically for the last several years): Pale yellow-green. Aromas of crystallized lemon peel and white pepper are lifted by a minty nuance. Tightly wound and brisk, showing almost painful cut to the flavors of lemon and dusty, chalky minerals. As strict as this is, it's not hard. Finishes subtle and very long.
Tank sample to be bottled July. Tense, youthful nose. Still very youthful with some chalkiness on the finish. Pure with almost painful acidity at this stage. Finishes a little suddenly. (JR)
