2015 Domaine des Hates Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume L'Homme Mort

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a greenish tinge to the outskirts and a watery hue. Subtle pear and lime aromas are married to biscuity oak and faint notions of dried honey followed by light stony mineral end notes. Light but nicely textured flavours of pears, citrus and traces of dried honey are overlaid by roasted biscuit characters with a stony mineral back drop. Finishes dry with fresh slatey acidity and an aftertaste of spiced pear, citrus, light roasted biscuit elements and stony mineral.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru l'Homme Mort comes from 35-year-old vines and sees 15 months in 75% stainless steel and 25% wooden barrels. It has a complex and engaging bouquet, with subtle wax and honeysuckle aromas that combine neatly with the cold stone/flint scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity that counterbalances the viscous texture. It is a typical 2015 Chablis: quite rich and opulent and eschewing mineralité for depth and extravagance, and to be honest, it does that with some panache. Drink 2019-2029.
