Chablis, France

Orange blossom, fresh flint and a touch of citrus peel on the nose — precise and finely drawn, with the wine opening gradually in the glass. Acidity is clean and focused, carrying subtle notes of apricot and quince through a mid-palate that favors finesse over weight. There's something almost delicate about this Fôret, a quiet elegance that distinguishes it from Raveneau's heavier hitters. The finish is persistent and mineral-edged. Very fine.
