Domaine Maurice Lecestre Chablis Premiere Cru "Fourchaume" 2023 - Burgundy, France

The renowned Chablis region, the northernmost area of Burgundy, is famed for its pure, mineral-driven, un-oaked Chardonnay. The Fourchaume vineyard is one of the most celebrated Premier Crus, benefiting from exceptional sun exposure and the unique Kimmeridgian marl soils rich in marine fossils. Domaine Maurice Lecestre is a family estate focused on expressing this terroir through traditional methods and careful, restrained winemaking. This results in a wine with remarkable structure, intensity, and the classic Chablis purity. Rob was delighted to secure this Premier Cru, which offers a true taste of top-tier, age-worthy Chablis.

Tasting Notes: Intense green apple aromas, lemon curd, white peach, and a powerful, wet-stone minerality. The palate is dry, concentrated, and complex, driven by exhilarating acidity and a long, distinctly saline finish.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for high-quality seafood. Enjoy with fresh oysters, grilled lobster, pan-seared scallops, or goat's cheese.
