William Fèvre

Clean and balanced, this white offers white peach, apple and floral aromas and flavors. A hint of mineral graces the mouthwatering finish.

Here too there is very good Chablis typicity in evidence with notes of white flower; green apple and mineral reduction. This chalky and saline-inflected middle weight flavors possess an unusually refined texture if not stellar depth. Even so, this is definitely attractive and very Chablis in Character that could be enjoyed young or held for a few years first. 

"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

This is rich and ripe, offering peach, honey and lemon flavors. Turns bracing and compact, with a long, minerally finish. Could benefit from short-term cellaring.

"This is really bright and clear with sliced apple, pear and stone. Some chalk, too. It’s linear and tight. Pretty length and freshness. Drink now."

Oyster-shell reduction and a note of lime on the classic Chablis nose. Dense, juicy and firm, boasting excellent definition to its flavors of oyster shell, lime and white flowers. Penetrating but not aggressive in spite of its firm acidity, finishing with excellent subtle length and grip. This terrific village wine is an exceptional value--but make sure you get the Domaine bottling.

The “estate bottling” of Chablis villages from William Fèvre is even a step up from the very lovely Champs Royaux in 2015. The bouquet is deeper and more refined, wafting from the glass in a mélange of lime, green apple, a touch of oyster shell, chalky soil and fruit blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very nicely balanced, with a good core, fine focus and impressive length and grip on the vibrant and nascently complex finish. This is really a serious example of AC Chablis this year!

Seems a bit more appealing and crisp than the sample tasted at chez Goedhuis. But still a bit appley rather than stony. Good acidity. If I saw this on a not-very-good wine list, I'd be happy to order it.

From Kemmeridgian soils, with just a 10% touch of oak, then back into stainless steel to keep freshness. A model Chablis, merging fruit definition, energy, and minerality; linear, saline, vertical.

"A touch of reduction blends in with a hint of lanolin on this wine's subtle nose. The palate adds zestiness to a rounded, smooth and harmonious mix of pear fruit, citrus and chalkiness. It finishes bright and fresh." - Anne Krebiehl MW
