Gautheron Chablis 1er Fourneaux VV 22

“Cyril Gautheron is a superb producer making wines in a crisp cool classically Chablis style, which is now really quite hard to achieve in these warmer seasons.” – Jasper Morris, on Gautheron’s 2022s

Fourneaux premier cru “Vieilles Vignes” 2022 saw 15% oak, which contributes roundness and complexity. Its most impressive feature, however, is its showy length on the palate, a result of the old vine concentration. The balance of depth, energy, fruit and stones here is just terrific.  We expect lovely evolution and a long, happy life for this wine.
