Wine Critic Reviews
The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Fourneaux is showing particularly well, opening in the glass with notes of crisp stone fruits, white flowers, oyster shells and iodine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated palate with excellent depth at the core, racy acids and a saline finish.

The 2022 Chablis Les Fourneaux 1er Cru has a slightly more austere bouquet than Billaud's other Premier Crus: crushed stone, smoke and touches of grilled walnut. Again, this has superb delineation. The palate is taut and fresh, quite sapid and lively. If I must quibble, it doesn't deliver the knockout complexity on the finish like the other cuvées. Still, this is a superb Fourneaux.
