Chateau de Maligny 2002 Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume

Alan Uchrinscko — Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:33:27 +0000

Delicate and floral nose with approachable palate and creamy finish balanced by fine acidity. **

Alan Uchrinscko — Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:29:11 +0000

Chalky and mineral with great length and an earthy finish. **

Alan Uchrinscko — Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:25:55 +0000

More viscous and better balanced than the normal Villages. A fuller, more complete wine with excellent balance and length. **

Less expressive than typical Fourchaume, but subtle, sweet fruits lead to a medium-bodied palate that is gentle but well-structured. **(*)

A complex nose with aromas of earth and fruit. Great, spicy finish. Vines from 1905, 1926 & 1942. **(*)

Ripe fruits and good balance with minty nuances. A bit short on the finish, but it’s an eleven year-old Petit Chablis, and a fine one at that! ***

Starting to show hints of more complex, tertiary aromas. Good spice finishing with orange peels. ***

Alan Uchrinscko — Mon, 01 Nov 2004 09:21:23 +0000

Intense, nutty aromas – akin to peanut shells – and a touch of guava. Very long. Ripe, exotic fruits and very spicy on the palate. ****

Zesty green fruits with minerals and gunflint. Good acidity and a long, spicy finish. ***(*)
