Domaine D'Henri Chablis 1Er Cru Fourchaume Heritage 2022 (750ml) *

Chardonnay grown on the Premier Cru slopes of Fourchaume, one of Chablis's warmer, riper terraces, sits behind this bottling. The Héritage cuvée from Domaine d'Henri is a 2022 from a vintage that leaned generous, and it shows that warmth: this is Chablis in a rounder, fruit-forward register rather than the taut, mineral idiom the region is often prized for. It comes sealed under a Diam closure.

Expect a pronounced peachy nose that tips toward the tropical, more sun-ripened than steely. The palate follows suit, ripe and softly fruited, with acidity that sits on the lower side and a body that reads as plush rather than tense. The finish is gentle and fades fairly quickly, so this is a wine to pour young and drink for its easy, open fruit rather than its cut.
