Domaine des Hâtes Pierrick Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume l’Homme Mort 2016

Domaine des Hâtes farms 1.1 hectares through this subsection of Fourchaume. It is located towards the northern part of Fourchaume, a top Premier Cru vineyard noted for growing on similar contours as the Grand Crus above the right bank of the Serein. The vines here have an average age of 25 years, with some as old as 35 years. Texturally compelling, this wine’s layered richness has the abrasion and stony depth of chardonnay grown in limestone and clay. Its peach ripeness is fresh and fragrant, heightened by scents of chamomile, green pear and crisp notes of parsley. Hints of toffee and caramel create an ornate layering, a combination of fresh and ripe. Decant it for braised rabbit or other gamey stews. – 93 points, Wine & Spirits, April 2019 The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Chablis Vintage – 2016 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13% Other – Organic
