The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a pretty, well-defined bouquet with cooking apple, Conference pear and light earthy scents. The palate seems to have some CO2 and feels quite primal, but I think this will sort itself out with bottle age. Mo...
he 2022 Chablis Grands Terroirs comes from the usual three parcels. The nose offers yellow plum and verbena, touches of chalk emerging with aeration. The palate has real "zing" on the entry, sharp and pointed, taut and linear, revivifying the senses with ...
The 2021 Chablis Vieilles Vignes Massale is 100% fermented and aged in used barrels for up to 24 months. It has a touch of beeswax on the nose, veering into yellow fruit. The palate is well-balanced thanks to a fine spine of acidity, with more tension ...
There is slightly better Chablis typicity present on the aromas of mineral reduction, iodine and cool white fleshed fruit. There is also slightly better volume and richness to the delicious medium weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying t...
The 2022 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a less immediate nose than the Bougros, with hints of lanolin and estuarine scents, lemon verbena and fern. This builds with confidence in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation and cohesion, a...
Cool, airy and beautifully layered aromas of white pepper, lemon zest, quinine and an array of floral wisps serve as an elegant introduction to the dense, overtly stony and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess first-rate cut and excellent length on ...
There is a touch of phenolic character and a vague exotic character suffusing the aromas of white peach, quinine and citrus confit. The rich, dense and powerful larger-bodied flavors also possess excellent concentration before concluding in a sappy, brigh...
The nose instantly makes clear that this could come from nowhere else but Chablis with its cool and airy aromas of white flower, ocean breeze, algae and shellfish. The sleek and refined yet solidly powerful flavors possess a beguiling texture and excellen...
The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru had been blended the previous week, during which a majority of the lees is kept. Often one of my favorite cuvées from William Fevre, the entrancing bouquet has impressive intensity on the nose. The palate is well-balanced...
The 2022 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has another tightly wound nose like the Montée de Tonnerre, a subtle marine element emerging with time, a touch of wild fennel. The palate has much more body and depth than the aforementioned Premier Cru, with good densi...
A stunning example, with finesse allied to power. Real tension and energy here. Will be approachable quite young, but really should be aged for over five years for the best result. Fèvre has 2.24ha within Montée de Tonnerre. Plots are located in Pied d'Al...
