Tasting note
Simonnet-Febvre's 2015 Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume should suggest lemon, green apple and grapefruit, with a mineral scent. Chardonnay is expected to feel crisp and finely drawn, fresh acidity sharpening the citrus and giving the palate a taut texture. Its projected drinking range ended in 2022, so bottle condition will determine how much brightness remains. If sound, expect a gentle close of citrus peel, herbs and a light stony note.
