(Fourchaume Les Vaulorent LA CHABLISIENNE) Chablis DEAL Dear Friends, I still get comments about the 2001 La Chablisienne Montee de Tonnerre that we offered last year at a ridiculous price - many of our oldest customers think it is the best price/value of any wine we’ve ever offered. After consuming 3-4 bottles of it in the last few months it’s tough for me to argue. The wine has aged in a spectacular way and I almost lament not having more in my cellar - oh well. That is until today. After bugging them ad nauseum about more of their severely underrated 2001s and being told the Montee de Tonnerre was a on-off occurrence - this is the result (a year later): their top 1er wine for great price. It would have been quite remarkable to have the regular Fourchaume for this price but this is the golden nugget, the Les Vaulorent. If you don’t mind drinking beautifully made 88pt wines at less than half price that have been immaculately stored and may have aged into something shimmering and brilliant (like the Montee de Tonnerre), this is your wine. It’s not often that we get to drink Chablis 1er as our everyday wine but at this price it almost qualifies. Based on the response history with this type of offer and the small quantity we have to work with, that’s all I will say: ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price directly from the source with perfect provenance (this is not via the grey market) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for absurd price/value: 2001 La Chablisienne "Fourchaume Les Vaulorent" 1er Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg9886
