2023 Chablis, Vaillons, Domaine William Fevre
Cask/tank sample. Real edge but also remarkably ripe fruit. Fairly early maturing, but long. ~ (16) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 1-15-2025
An exuberantly fresh nose features notes of essence of apple, sea breeze, pink grapefruit and oyster shell. The delicious, fleshy and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors deliver good if not truly special length on the lightly stony, balanced and bitter lemon-inflected finale. This is sufficiently rich to allow for early accessibility but it also has the stuffing to repay 6 to 10 years of cellaring. ~ (91) Allen Meadows, Burghound 10-1-2024
The 2023 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has much more composure than the Montmains, more harmonious and poised. Light sea spray scents mixed with Crustacea come through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, quite linear and malic with a concentrated finish. I prefer this to the Montmains this year. ~ (92) Neal Martin, Vinous 8-1-2024
