The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Forets has a wonderful, granitic bouquet; it is reserved but beautifully defined and very intense. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of orange cordial and a twist of lime. It has a bracing line of acidity and it gently fans out with a slight waxiness towards the finish, which as I suggested from barrel, perhaps just lacks that knockout blow that its fellow Premier Crus deliver. Still, it represents a fine Raveneau.
