Note di degustazione
Fusil, oily, crushed chalk and grapefruit in the nose of Boudin’s 2008 Chablis Fourchaume migrate to a palate that, as with the corresponding village wine, is waxy in texture; superbly-balanced between its sense of density and refreshing citrus and salinity; and finishes grippingly with white pepper as well as zest and fruit-pit bitterness enhancing an overall sense of invigoration. This impressive, although for its vintage, relatively austere Fourchaume ought to be worth following for at least 6-8 years. Boudin once again delivers excellent value via tank vinification in his unglamourous (and in summer, quite warm) above-ground facility A Peter Vezan Selection (various importers), Paris; fax 011 33 1 42 55 42 93

Pale yellow-straw. Subdued but clean aromas of ginger, yellow peach, wild herbs and truffle. Juicy, densely packed and intensely flavored, with strong acidity giving shape to the rich middle palate. A concentrated, spicy wine with a strong back end. In a traditional style but a bit less earthy than the Homme Mort.
Oatmeal with a drizzle of honey on the nose. Linear acidity, very taut and tight and lips pursed with primness at the moment, but those notes of papaya and honeyed hints make all sorts of promises. (TC)
Taut, introvert nose. Classically fine tuned. Pretty tough on the finish. (JR)
