Vinous: 94 Points

The 2018 Chablis Fourchaume La Pièce au Comte 1er Cru has a beautiful nose of white peach pressed white flowers hints of nectarine and yellow plum subtle but supremely focused. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A touch of ginger lingers in the background. Very harmonious delivering just the right amount of salinity toward the finish. Superb. (Drink between 2022-2036)

Jasper Morris: 92 Points

From 60 and 70 year old vines. Palish colour with a light green tint. The nose starts discreetly but it begins to come out of the block very nicely. Wines are rarely flamboyant in this cellar although they can certainly be intense. This is very precise subtly nuanced with some ripe fruit some Chablis backbone. Overall an impeccable Chablis with fine length and precision.

Burghound: 90-92 Points

Subtle but not invisible wood frames a similar array of aromas. Once again there is very good richness to the even more powerful and slightly denser flavors that reflect plenty of citrus influence on the clean dry and slightly firmer finish.

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

Aromas of citrus oil apple blossom honeycomb and fresh bread introduce the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume a medium to full-bodied ample and enveloping wine that's pillowy and weightless with a fleshy core of fruit lively acids and a bright saline finish. Open and expressive this is a Bessin Fourchaume to drink while its 2017 and 2019 siblings are developing in the cellar.
