Awards & Accolades

• Decanter 95 Points: “A magnificent Premier Cru with lime zest aromas and mineral-driven depth.”
• Wine Advocate 95 Points: “A striking young wine with orchard fruit complexity and chalky minerality.”
• John Gilman 94+ Points: “A classic in the making—combines floral aromatics with zesty acidity.”
• Burghound 92-94 Points: “Highly complex citrus notes balanced by bone-dry mineral intensity.”

Tasting Notes & Profile

This Chablis Premier Cru opens with an aromatic profile featuring lime zest, pear nectar, and hints of freshly baked bread. On the palate, it delivers a seamless interplay of ripe orchard fruits (pear, apple) and saline minerality reminiscent of oyster shells—a hallmark of La Forest’s terroir. The wine’s racy acidity and chalky texture provide structure while showcasing exceptional balance, making it both approachable now and capable of aging gracefully until 2030.

Why This Wine Stands Out

• Terroir Expression: Crafted from sustainably farmed vines on La Forest’s prized Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils.
• Aging Potential: Comparable to Grand Cru wines thanks to its dense fruit concentration and crystalline acidity.
• Versatility: Ideal for pairing with seafood (oysters Rockefeller), creamy cheeses (Camembert), or rich poultry dishes—enhancing any gourmet experience while offering long-term cellaring value for collectors.
