A fragrant nose with aromas of apples, pears, brioche and candied citrus. Round, silky and balanced with fine bubbles and a flavorful, minerally finish. Full-bodied with a creamy texture and wonderfully soft fruit. Highlights the balance of the 2012 vintage. A blend of 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir.
Packed with fruit while hinting at mature toastiness, this wine is now in perfect balance. Its white fruits are from half-and-half Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, shot through with acidity while having a ripe character. Rich while also crisp, it is ready to drink.
An undramatic, cloud-filled season came right in a late harvest in October. A textbook cool vintage of great ageing potential. The perfect 50/50 balance of mineral-stamped Chardonnay and powerful, masculine Pinot makes this a champagne for patient drinkers. Vibrant acidity is joined by notes of white flowers and that magnificent mineral structure.
A bright and balanced rosé Champagne, with the delicate mousse carrying finely meshed flavors of white raspberry, slivered almond, Meyer lemon zest and fleur de sel. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
A well-structured Champagne, with racy acidity and a smoke- and chalk-tinged minerally underpinning, this has a fine and creamy texture that becomes a lacy frame for flavors of fresh-cut apple, star fruit, salted almond and a pleasingly bitter hint of pink grapefruit pith. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
Based on the 2015, the latest release of Henriot's NV Brut Souverain offers up inviting aromas of white peach, apple blossom, nectarine and pastry cream. Medium-bodied, bright and fleshy, with a pretty core of fruit, tangy acids and a pillowy mousse.
"A subtle hint of tangerine on the nose dissipates to leave ripe lemon brightness. The palate is concentrated, juicy and fresh, brimming with lemon edged Mirabelle fruitiness. Chalky depth anchors everything in coolness despite the ripe, rounded vintage." - Anne Krebiehl MW
Clean and balanced, this white offers white peach, apple and floral aromas and flavors. A hint of mineral graces the mouthwatering finish.
More chalky and less broad than their non-domaine Chablis. Attractive tension and brightness. Classic apple fruit that has good persistence and enough concentration to age well.
The better of Fèvre's two Chablis cuvées - the other one is a négociant blend - this very lightly wooded cuvée comes mostly from old-vine parcels and is commendably reliable. Pear and boiled sweet notes segue into a fresh, sappy, tapering palate.
