The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts is one of the broader, more enveloping wines in the range this year, delivering aromas of orange oil, nutmeg, musky peach and apple. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and open, it's ample and expressive, with lively acids and a saline finish.

Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, Anjou pear, pastry cream and fresh bread introduce the 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's satiny and precise, concluding with a long, saline finish.

The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts offers up aromas of fresh peach, green apples, warm pastry and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, round and open-knit, with an easier-going, fleshier profile than the tensile Séchet that preceded it, concluding with a saline finish.

The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts is also very promising, offering up notes of crisp peach, iodine, green apple and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a lovely sense of completeness and harmony, concluding with a saline finish.

The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Les F?rets has a crisp orange zest, tangerine and flint-scented nose that carries its subtle reduction well. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. It is quite saline in the mouth with a poised, lightly spiced finish that lingers. I suggest affording this a year in bottle so that it gains more cohesion. Thereafter, it should give several years' drinking pleasure.
