Note di degustazione
Bottled November. Palish lemon colour, a touch of wet wool, more discreet nose. All in white fruit, slightly lactic flesh behind, just enough minerals, and a little more persistent than you first think. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Jun 2024.

The 2022 Chablis Les Fourneaux 1er Cru has a slightly more austere bouquet than Billaud's other Premier Crus: crushed stone, smoke and touches of grilled walnut. Again, this has superb delineation. The palate is taut and fresh, quite sapid and lively. If I must quibble, it doesn't deliver the knockout complexity on the finish like the other cuvées. Still, this is a superb Fourneaux.
The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Fourneaux is showing particularly well, opening in the glass with notes of crisp stone fruits, white flowers, oyster shells and iodine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated palate with excellent depth at the core, racy acids and a saline finish.
Tank sample, unoaked. More mineral than the straight Chablis and with a more marked creamy lees aroma as well as a ‘green’/herbal citrus lift. Not a huge step up from the Chablis, perhaps, at least not compared with the difference in price, but there’s more stony/mineral character here and it’s a little more persistent, with a touch of spice on the finish, and needs at least another year in bottle to be more expressive. So perfectly dry. (JH)
