2023 Chablis, Les Clos, Domaine William Fevre

Cask/tank sample. Much more introvert than the Bougros Côte Bouguerots. There is undertow and density but not much actual flavour yet. Definitely one for the cellar but great intensity on the finish ~ (17) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 1-15-2025

A more restrained nose grudgingly exhibits pronounced mineral reduction nuances that add breadth to the markedly floral nose of seashore, iodine and oyster shell scents. I very much like the mouthfeel of the powerful and concentrated larger-scaled flavors that are akin to rolling a small pebble around the mouth while displaying excellent length on the very dry, long, youthfully austere and balanced finish that is supported by overtly citrus-tinged acidity. Patience strongly recommended. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 10-1-2024

The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from 4 hectares of vines, mostly at the top of the slope on limestone-rich soils. Oyster shell and light sea spray scents on the nose entwined with hints of orange pith and wild mint. The palate is very concentrated and intense, more so than William Fèvre's other Grand Cru. Very harmonious with a poised, stem ginger tinged-finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. ~ (95) Neal Martin, Vinous 8-1-2024
